SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ANGEL HAIR PASTA
This is always a hit. The best part is how fast you can whip it up! You could just buy roasted tomatoes in a jar, but I think roasting them yourself gives the dish a very fresh, deep flavor.

BABY SHRIMP SCAMPI AND ANGEL HAIR PASTA (RACHAEL RAY)
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 is deveined and peeled. If using frozen shrimp, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it turns pink and opaque.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the key to a flavorful shrimp scampi. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Don't be afraid to add some heat: If you like a little spice, add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce. You can also add some chopped fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp scampi is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will continue to cook if it sits for too long, so enjoy it while it's hot and fresh.
