I made myself some garlic shrimp scampi for lunch. Want a bite? :lol:

Quilter7x 01-23-2010 11:35 AM

OK that's just cruel - of course we all want a bite!

All I have is leftover pizza for lunch.

I'm with Quilter 7x. That's cruel! I just made some turkey chili, which I like just fine - and now I'm feeling all deprived!

barnbum 01-23-2010 02:26 PM

Oh yum!

BKinCO 01-23-2010 03:14 PM

That's just wrong!

I've eaten the last 3 meals out at 3 different restaurants and they were all super disappointing....Can I come to YOUR restaurant and you can serve me that????

marsye 01-23-2010 03:40 PM

It was so good I think I'll fix it for Sunday dinner.....y'all come on down!! :-)

Charlee 01-23-2010 03:53 PM

1 1/2 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined (a little over 1/3 lb per serving)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest

And the analysis from Calorie Count (which I think is HIGH in the calories...shrimp is NOT that high in calories:

Put the shrimp on a large pie pan or plate and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the butter to the skillet. When the foaming subsides, raise the heat to high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the pan so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Turn the shrimp over and cook for 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.

Return the skillet to the heat and pour in the vermouth and lemon juice. Boil the liquid until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir the zest and parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the shrimp, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.

Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or arrange on a platter and serve.

Olivia's Grammy 01-23-2010 04:59 PM

I had tomato soup for supper. Now I want some shrimp.

craftiladi 01-23-2010 05:04 PM

Is that anyway to treat your friends...hmmm I was just looking over another purchase to make...and how did you know for the last week I have been craving shrimp scampi...get out of my head...lol
dee

PurplePassion 01-23-2010 06:36 PM

I like mine with angel hair pasta. I had spaghetti.

littlehud 01-23-2010 06:37 PM

Oh you guys are making me so hungry.

blahel 01-23-2010 08:03 PM

you are lucky that i dont live closer as it is lunchtime here and I can almost smell them...and taste them!

sewnsewer2 01-23-2010 08:47 PM

You big tease. :lol:

Looks like your dog (avatar) is waiting for some too!

Lisanne 01-24-2010 12:24 AM

Charlee, the calories and fat are from the butter, not the shrimp. Of course, the butter is what makes it shrimp scampi. Somehow, I don't think the calorie and fat counts are the point here...

Marsye, you @%$#*, you know that looked spectacular! I agree with whoever says it looks better than what the restaurants serve. It would take me 3 - 4 days to drive down to Arkansas, so I wouldn't be in time for Sunday dinner. Otherwise, I'd be there!

Well......I know how to perk you guys up! LOL

Charlee 01-24-2010 11:35 AM

The two tablespoons of butter that the recipe calls for only add up to 204 calories...3 ounces of shrimp are only 84 calories...those are the two "biggies" in that recipe, so I'm not seeing where the calories are coming from, unless that's with the vermouth added...which I don't like and don't use...

Bailey's mom 01-24-2010 11:53 AM

YUMMY!!!
what time should I be there?

charlee, you don't get it. we all want someone else to make it. we just want to eat it.

Elisabrat 01-24-2010 01:17 PM

OMG that is so not fair. Delivery service? do you deliver? (getting my plate out now and one fork, not sharing).

Olivia's Grammy 01-24-2010 01:41 PM

Amen sister. I could make it, but it tastes better when some one else does it.

Charlee 01-24-2010 01:46 PM

Oh I get it! ~grin~ But since Marsye hasn't offered to yet, I thought maybe one of you would take up the saute pan and make some for me!! ;)

butterflywing 01-24-2010 02:09 PM

fat chance. fat being the operative word :mrgreen: .

can't speak for anyone but me. ;)

joeyoz 01-26-2010 05:02 PM

OK That was just mean. Whaaaaaaaaa. I want some.

craftiladi 01-26-2010 05:05 PM

Betelloni [spelling? ] makes a awesome jarred scampi sauce-I am not usually a huge fan of jarred anything but this one was really good, I have even used it over chicken, so quick and easy.
