BABY SHRIMP SCAMPI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA (RACHAEL RAY)

Baby Shrimp Scampi and Angel Hair Pasta (Rachael Ray) image

Ok...how about dinner in like...15 minutes. Don't forget the bag of salad (ya just gotta eat green things!) Now for my notes on this one -- I didn't have a microplane at the time so instead of the zest, I just squeezed juice from a fresh lemon. I didn't have white wine either, but I did have some sherry and that came out ok too! By the way, here's a rule of thumb when adding wines to food -- if you wouldn't drink it out of a glass, don't put it in your food! Finally, I added about a teaspoon of finely chopped garlic cuz Emeril says it's good for ya. Deeeeeeeeeeee-lish!!!

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp. Use fresh or frozen shrimp that have been peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil adds flavor to the dish, so use a good quality oil that you enjoy the taste of.
Don't be afraid to add garlic. Garlic is a key ingredient in scampi sauce, so don't be afraid to add plenty of it. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as oregano, basil, or red pepper flakes, to taste.
Serve immediately. Scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will continue to cook in the sauce, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve to guests. The combination of shrimp, garlic, and butter is always a winner. The next time you are looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give shrimp scampi a try.
