This is verbatim from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I prefer using multiple color onions to give it a little flair, serving it over pasta, and with a green vegetable. Scampi is a term often used in restaurants to describe a dish made with large shrimp that are prepared with garlic, oil or butter, then broiled in a shallow ramekin. This easy version is cooked in a skillet.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, uncooked and in shells
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced (2 tablespoons)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
grated parmesan cheese, if desired
Directions:
1. Peel shrimp, removing tails. Make a shallow cut lengthwise down back of each shrimp; wash out vein (devein).
2. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp and remaining ingredients except cheese in oil 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently until shrimp are pink and firm; remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese.
