Beginning to not like it. Shells to be discarded. High cooking temperature leaving oil splattered to be cleaned up. Other than that it’s pretty good.
Tell me which spices to use other than pepper.

Dash of cayenne..................

OIL?????
USE BUTTER!
My recipe calls for bitters, worestershire sauce, white white ( you can also use Rose ), garlic, and lemon juice.
Depending on your taste, finely chopped shallots can also be used ( saute WITH the peeled and deveined shrimp in the butter, adding the bitter, worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and wine once the shallots have begun to caramelize ) and DO add a bit more butter prior to serving over pasta.

Soak shrimp in white wine first. Then she’ll.
Wasn’t there a cooking thread here once upon a time?

ABSOLUTELY and lots of it! :-)
And a sprinkling of finely chopped parsley, on top of the dish, adds a certain flourish.
To: waterhill
Yes and it was FANTASTIC!
But it stopped running a few years back, due to personal reason.
To: Red Badger
Scampi means shrimp. So it’s shrimp shrimp day.

I never knew that pickles were really cucumbers until I was 25. I thought they came from a pickle tree or something.

No, no, NO; not I! I only posted to it, it was one of my very dear FRiends who ran it. That poster is still here, but no longer posts much.
To: Larry Lucido
Technically it is a langoustine. Translates to small lobster.
But yes, it’s a shrimp.
