[2]Shrimp Scampi

You’ll enjoy these delicious little morsels smothered in garlic and butter. For a little added flavour I like using long green onions and red chilli pepper flakes to liven up the dish a bit. 

Ingredients 

1 kg (2.2 lb) medium sized shrimp peeled and deveined. Leave the tails on for added flavour.

1 bunch of spring onions chopped on an angle 1cm long

4 large cloves of garlic chopped

2 Tbsp of butter

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive or coconut oil

1/4 cup of chicken stock (broth)

1/2 cup of dry white wine

1/4 cup cream (optional)

1/2 tsp of crushed red chilli pepper flakes

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1/4 cup of parsley

2 lemons quartered 

Method 

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Add onions and shrimp for 1 minute. Add garlic for another minute. Turn shrimp over and sprinkle with salt, black pepper and red chilli pepper flakes.  Cook for one minute. 

Add wine and broth and reduce for about 1 minute. Finish with the whipping cream if desired (it’s delicious). 

Serve sprinkled with parsley with lemon wedges on the side.
