Shrimp Scampi

Does anyone have a simple Shrimp Scampi recipe.

TIA!

Re: Shrimp Scampi

i usually just wing it... i melt a bunch of butter ( you need enough to coat the pasta) and a bunch of garlic and a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes all in a frying pan... then add the shrimp for a few minutes (they don't take long to cook). when the pasta is done, i just dump the sauce/shrimp combo over the pasta i usually use angel hair pasta... it goes well with the nice, light sauce

SHRIMP SCAMPI

1 lb. clean shrimp. deveined etc.
1/4 cup melted butter
3 Tablespoons olive oil
handful of fresh parsley
1 teaspoon basil (obviously fresh is better)
1/4 cup white wine
4 Tablespoons chopped fresh garlic (minced and i use more, you can judge garlic i assume..i guess i would do like 6-7 Tblsp. the garlic really makes this, so it does need alot
1 tsp. mrs. dash (regular flavour)
juice of 1 lemon
Salt and Pepper
Crushed red pepper if you want

Melt butter and oil 2gether and add in garlic, mrs. dash and basil. Add in parsley then shrimp. Keep turning (the shrimp). Add lemon juice and white wine. Cook on med high until all shrimp are pink. can be served over rice or linguine. I do one pound of pasta per 4 people.

I sometimes add a bit more butter, oil and wine to make more liquid if you like a lot of sauce.
