Garlic Shrimp with Linguine
C came down Friday so we could go to Amanda's shower on Saturday. I baked most of the day, so made a fairly quick dinner. The recipe called itself "Shrimp Scampi", but I call it Garlic Shrimp with Linguine. Basically quickly cook some shrimp in a mixture of half butter and half olive oil and 4 to 6 cloves of chopped (pressed) garlic. Remove the shrimp from the skillet, add lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, white wine, a little red pepper flakes and salt & pepper. Add cooked linguine into the sauce and then the previously cooked shrimp. It was very flavorful, the shrimp nice and sweet & tender. The only thing I would change would be to break the linguine or use a shorter/smaller pasta. It tended to wrap around itself and not allow the shrimp to mix in. I enjoyed it with fresh asparagus, garlic toast & a nice pinot grigio. It was just myself because C fell asleep (there was no waking her up since she had been up all night working) and B was too busy playing a video game (with A in Atlanta) to bother coming in to eat dinner until it had gotten cold. Too bad for them! The dish did reheat pretty good, so C had it for breakfast the next day.
