NOT RIDING - COOKING - AND EATING

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I just finished watching a great football game and then a darn good meal and thought I'd share one of them since it's winter :yes:.... I haven't made this since " Safe-cracker " and His bride were here this past year :clap:.... It's Shrimp Scampi ( the classic way - no cream ), I try to make it as Heart healthy as I can :roflblack: so it's only 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil + garlic ( lots ) + sautéed diced onion + parsley + 1/2 tsp. lemon/pepper + sea salt ...... on the side I like chilled Asparagus vinaigrette .... this I get at the " DOLLAR STORE " you may laugh but they sell the thinnest, tenderest asparagus I have ever found. A brand that's un-known " Pampas " 12 oz for $ 1.00 :yes:... To prepare, the night before I drain the can, then spread on paper towel and put in fridge un-covered over-nite, then put into a small size container and cover with Italian dressing ... 8 hrs + .....keep cold....... To make the Scampi, remove shells from as many shrimp as you need...... PUT shells in a pot and add as much water as needed to make the white or basmati rice you plan to eat with this serving, bring shells to a boil then put aside for 1/2 hr, this is your stock for the rice ( it makes a big difference in the flavors ) ....... I won't give you amounts because it varies depending on how many servings and what size they are - sorry ....... I heat water to make rice - putting in Sea salt, powered Garlic, and parsley .... add rice and cook it....... in a high sided sauce pan ( of appropriate size ) melt butter & olive oil, lemon pepper then saute diced onions slightly..... When rice is done , re-heat butter etc. adding garlic paste or fresh chopped then shrimp until pink 2-3 min per side depending on size ...... when shrimp is cooked remove to platter and then add rice to sauce-pan ( with the butter/oil ) taste it and add more powered garlic if needed. Serve with rolls / bread and the asparagus and a nice Moscato goes well ( balances the strong flavor of garlic and vinaigrette ) ....... If I've made you hungry I'm glad :thumbup:....Bon Appe'tit ........ Mike :thumbup:
