Shrimp Scampi with Pasta

a

List of ingredients:

1 pound of peeled fresh gulf shrimp

1/2 tsp pepper flakes

2 tsp olive oil

1tsp salt

1/2 black ground pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

2 cloves of garlic minced

2 tbsp of butter

3/4 cup of white wine

1 green onion chopped

1 C of chicken broth with 1 tbsp of flour whisked in

2 tbs of minced shallot

1 garlic clove minced

2tbsp of lemon juice

2 tbsp of butter

2 tbsp of chopped parsley

about 3/4 of a package of any style pasta boiled al dente and ready to go. (Don't forget to boil pasta in salted water! it makes a difference!)

place shrimp in a ziplock bag with the first six ingredients and let marinade for about an hour in the fridge. 

Melt Butter in pan and get hot. Add shrimp and saute till pink then dump on a plate and set aside.  add white wine chopped green onion and shallot and garlic clove and let simmer down a bit. whisk in your chicken broth and lemon juice and let simmer for a while. The flour will help it thicken just a bit. Add 1tbsp of the chopped parsley and the last 2 tbsp of butter and stir it in and then toss your pasta in the sauce. I cover this and let sit for about 10 minutes so the sauce marries with the pasta. 

Plate the pasta and add the shrimp on top...sprinkle each plate with the last tablespoon of parsley!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! Good Luck and What's for supper?
