Re: Recipe :Shrimp Scampi

My husband made this recipe for his grandmother once who loved to go to Red Lobster for their scampi. After she ate this, we couldn't get her to go to Red Lobster again!

Makes 2 servings

6 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1 Table spoon minced green onion
1 Tablespoon olive oil or salad oil
4 - 5 cloves minced garlic
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
about 3/4 pounds of medium sized shrimp, shelled and deveined.
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 Tablespoons minced parsley

Melt butter in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Stir in onion, oil, garlic, lemon juice, and salt; cook until bubbly. Add shrimp to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp turn pink (about 5 minutes). Stir in lemon peel, & parsley; turn in to serving dish.

My husband uses seafood shell dishes to serve. He also Melts a couple table spons of butter and adds breadcrumbs. Sprinkles them over the shrimp and places them under the broiler for a few minutes to brown.
