Categories: Seafood, Wine, Chilies, Citrus, Pasta
     Yield: 6 Servings

     2 lb Scampi or lg shrimp; peeled
    10 cl Garlic
     4 tb Fine chopped coriander
     1 ts Red pepper flakes
     2 tb Butter
     4 tb Olive oil
     1 c  Dry white wine
          Salt & black pepper
          Parsley
     1    Lemon; juice of
          Pasta or bread

 Whereas Scampi actually refers to a kind of lobster and not to
 shrimp, Shrimp Scampi is the common term for a dish of the American
 cuisine using garlic butter and dry white wine whether being based
 on lobster, prawn or well, shrimp

 This is a great recipe and is best to be served with pasta or
 garlic bread.

 Optional step: Take a pot; pour water into it and a little salt.
 Bring the water to a boil and add your pasta. After some 8-10
 minutes the pasta should be al dente (see your package instructions
 for details), drain out and set aside for later use.

 While the pasta is cooking, prepare your ingredients for the shrimp
 scampi. Slice the cloves of garlic nicely and finely. Peel off the
 shrimp and wash them with water cleaning it thoroughly. Cut the
 parsley.

 Next take a pan and place it on high heat. Add butter and olive
 oil. Next add the garlic and saute until it turns brown. Once this
 is done, add red pepper flakes to the sauteed garlic.

 Take a cup of white wine and pour it in the pan with a pinch of
 salt and boil it at high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes. Next add
 the peeled shrimp to the pan cook for another 2-3 minutes turning
 them constantly. Make sure that the heat is high during the entire
 process. Next add chopped coriander, some pepper and mix.

 Take out the boiled pasta onto a serving plate and top it with
 shrimp scampi. Dish it up with parsley and serve right away.

 Tips: Shrimp Scampi recipe can also be served with bread or steamed
 rice. You can add vegetables to the rice to make it more
 flavorsome. If you like your scampi hot, add in more of red chile
 flakes or sauteed chile.

 A fresh note is given if you add pesto sauce.

 You can also use crayfish or lobster tails for the scampi recipe.
 This would be actually the traditional way. Lightly sear the
 crayfish or lobster tails in unsalted butter and enjoy!
