Classic Scampi with the flare of shallots. If you don't prefer or favor lemon, you can reduce the lemon amount or omit it all together. Tried it either way, and they are both great! Ingredients:

3 tablespoons minced garlic |
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice (depends on your lemon preferences) |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon chopped parsley |
2 teaspoons thyme |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. Peel and devein shrimp leaving tail portion on.
2. Heat butter and oil in large skillet over med-high heat.
3. Add garlic and shallots and cook up to 3 minutes until tender. If they start turning brown, reduce to medium heat if needed.
4. Add shrimp, lemon, salt, wine.
5. Wait till it bubbles and simmer for 2-3 minute or until shrimp turn opaque. Stir occasionally.
6. Remove shrimp and set aside.
