Shrimp Scampi
NeedTaste |An all-time family favorite that is so quick and easy. I always serve it over white rice with hot apple muffins.. Shrimp scampi is a recipe that sounds super fancy (and they charge a fortune for at a restaurant), but it's very easy to make. The delicate shrimp are bathed in a buttery garlic sauce. You really taste the paprika, cayenne, and celery salt of Old Bay seasoning. Crushed pepper does give the dish a nice kick of spice. Shrimp scampi is typically served with linguine, but we loved the white rice. It really soaks up the butter sauce.

INSTRUCTIONS :
In frying pan over medium heat melt butter and sautu00e9 garlic. Do not brown garlic dd shrimp and lemon juice. Cook for a few minutes just until shrimp turns pink. dd all remaining ingredients except the white rice. Stir frequently and cook for 5-10 minutes to allow butter sauce thicken some and blend flavors. I like to measure ingredients before I begin. This recipe tends to cook up quickly. pread hot white rice over bottom of casserole dish. Poor shrimp with all butter sauce over white rice and serve immediately. The rice always soaks in some of the butter sauce and tastes amazing. ptional - I sometimes stir in a can of French cut green beans which is always delicious. ote If you double this recipe do not double the Old Bay or red pepper. If you do it will be a very hot and spicy dish.
