My St. Patrick's Day table is set and I've made us some delicious scones. 

Shrimp Scampi

This is one of my favorite meals for Lent, and it's Shrimp Scampi.  

Look what my daughter ordered for my birthday!  Isn't it the best??  I put it above my pantry.

Shrimp Scampi

This Shrimp Scampi can be served over fettuccine or spaghetti. I am giving the full recipe, but I only make half.

Ingredients

• pound linguini (I often use spaghetti)
• 4 T. butter
• 4 T. olive oil
• 2 shallots, finely diced (I often use scallions)
• 2 cloves garlic
• pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled & deveined (I use frozen shrimp that has been thawed & I remove the tails)
• Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (I use dried & just a sprinkle)

Instructions

1. For the pasta, put a large pot of water on to boil. When it comes to a boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt & then the pasta. Stir to make sure it separates. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 T. butter in 2 T. olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute' the shallots, garlic & red pepper flakes until the shallots are translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt & pepper, Add them to the pan & cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan & set aside.
3. Add wine & lemon juice & bring to a boil. Add 2 T. butter & 2 T. olive oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley & cooked pasta. Stir well & season with salt & pepper.
4. * My addition is that I like to grate Parmesan cheese over the top before serving. Enjoy!
