Thursday: Shrimp Scampi


Oh the lure of the shellfish. I didn't make this meal - but Rainer did and it's not too hard, from what I watched and saw. It also can be made in a frying pan a top of the stove, so not to panic dear Grace.

Take a pound of raw shrimp and make sure the tails are off and they are nice and clean. Put into a pan a tablespoon of butter and olive oil. Start that up and chop finely a quarter of an onion and four cloves of garlic, handful of parsley leaf and plenty of salt and pepper. Squeeze a little lemon into this and then mix it up and throw it into the pan. Let it heat up a bit then add the shrimps.

Cook them until they are pink and start to curl up - but not too long as you are not making rubber erasers out of them!

Serve them the way you like or the way Rainer did with thin carrot chips, steamed asaparagus, and a nice jasmine rice with tumeric. Yummy!
