OLD SCHOOL SHRIMP SCAMPI

Not sure how you beat this. And considering this is "Super quick dinner week" and it goes from zip to amazing in less than 15 minutes...you gotta make it.

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 lb fresh large raw shrimp (21-30 size)

  • 1/2 pack spaghetti

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 1/3 cup Dry Vermouth

  • pinch red pepper flakes

  • 3 tablespoons curly parsley, finely chopped, (flatleaf will do)

  • 1/2 lemon, fresh juice

  • lemon wedge for serving

  • drizzle of EVOO

  • Optional: handful grated Parmesan cheese

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. In large pot boiled salted water add spaghetti, cook al dente

  2. While that cooks... In a large skillet, on medium heat, add butter, oil, garlic, cook 30 seconds

  3. Add vermouth, red pepper flakes, simmer 4 minutes to reduce liquid

  4. Add shrimp, these guys only need 2 minutes, flip cook for 1 more minute

  5. Add lemon juice and half parsley

  6. Drain pasta, add to skillet coat in sauce

  7. Serve garnished with parsley, drizzle of EVOO and a wedge of lemon. Sprinkle of Parmesan if you feel like it.
