Mmm Banana's Foster.
The last hour of 'Today' is tape delayed here, so Regis and Kelly can appear live. So I'll grab a pen and be ready for scampi.

Hi ck and BT11.

ck, I didn't have my volume on, so I just assumed it was scampi from the ingredients. It might be something different. There were some delicious looking sides, as well.

Scampi is a tough one, because so many people are iffy on heavy garlic. I love to use lots of garlic, but in subtle ways. :)

How is everyone doing?
Addy, have you wrapped your packages yet?

CK -- scampi is very very easy....
2 shallots minced
2 - 3 garlic cloves minced
2 TBS butter
2 TBS oilve oil (EV)

Sautee the above until tranlucent
Add a pound of peeled/deveined shrimp
Suatee until just pink (about 3 minutes)
Transfer to a warm covered disg
Return pan to flame -- add a 1/2 cup of good dry white wine (I like Fume Blanc for this or Pinot Grigio (NO COMMENTS) and juice of one lemon
Add 2 more tbs butter and oil, melt and incorporate
Return shrimp to pan, heat through
Add fresh parsley (chopped)

Serve!

How about a nice blush, or a white zinfandel perhaps K? teehehehe

CK -- get out of my kitchen....NOW!

Addy -- I hope you take no offense...those PINK drinks should be banned for life...sorry to all you WZ drinkers

no argument here, K.

ck - Shrimp scampi is a frequent request of friends when I have them over for dinner. I have a fool-proof recipe. But, I know what you mean about the garlic.

Scampi really is a great entertaining recipie....for some reason it has a certain "wow" factor and is just so easy and you are not a slave to the kitchen....

The shallots are what I like most and does help "cut" the garlic...I have made it with all shallots and it also tastes fine...

THe main rule -- do not over cook the shrimp!
