Re: Shrimp Recipes
SHRIMP SCAMPI TUSCANO
The Tuscans have a way with food!
? 2 lbs. large prawns
? 1 lb. linguini or fettuccini
? 2 whole cloves crushed garlic
? 1/2 cup chopped shallots
? 6 Tbl. butter
? 6 Tbl. virgin olive oil
? 1/2 cup white wine [Sauterne, Chablis, or Chardonnay]
? 1 1/2 tsp. salt
? 1/2 tsp. white pepper
? 1/2 cup heavy cream
? 3 Tbl. flour [Wondraź] for thickening
? 1 Tbl. chopped fresh basil
? 1 Tbl. chopped fresh oregano
? Grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
? Clean and de-vein prawns. Pat dry and refrigerate.
? Cook pasta in boiling water until al-dente. This will take 10-12 minutes for dry pasta, and 3 minutes for fresh. Combine all ingredients [except pasta, prawns, wine cream and flour] into a deep skillet and saute. Add prawns and cook quickly until they turn pink and are opaque [Be careful not to overcook]. Add wine and cream and wait until heated. Add the Wondraź to thicken. Ladle Scampi over hot drained pasta, generously sprinkle with cheese and serve.
