INGREDIENTS

1 Crusty loaf, sourdough or Vienna

1 cup – Shredded mozzarella or any other melting cheese

1/2 cup – Salted butter, softened

2 Garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon – Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Prep time is 30 min, serves 6.

—————————-

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºFf

2. Melt butter in microwave and then mix in with the garlic and parsley.

3. Cut the bread diagonally into 2cm/1inch diamonds but do not cut all the way through bread (about 3/4’s of the way through the bread).

4. Use your fingers or knife to pry open each crack and drizzle in a teaspoon of butter mix and stuff in a pinch of cheese.

5. Wrap with foil and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has mostly melted.

6. Unwrap and bake for 5 minutes more just to make the bread nice and crusty.

7. Serve immediately.

Tip: To make ahead, after wrapping with foil also wrap with cling film as well. Store in fridge overnight or freeze to store for longer. To cook, thaw completely then follow recipe instructions to bake. Always use baked bread, not uncooked bread dough.

Original url: http://www.allthecooks.com/shrimp-scampi-2.html

INGREDIENTS

1 pound – Shrimp

1 tablespoon – Pure Olive Oil

2 tablespoon – Finely Chopped Garlic

1 1/2 cup – White Wine

1/2 Fresh Lemon (Juice Only)

1 teaspoon – Italian Seasoning Blend

1/2 cup – Butter

1 tablespoon – Fresh Parsley (Chopped Fine)

1 Salt and Pepper (To Taste)

1/2 cup – Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese

—————————-

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat heavy bottomed skillet and add oil. Do not allow oil to smoke.

2. Add shrimp, cook until tender and no longer translucent.

3. Remove shrimp from pan and reduce heat slightly.

4. Add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to brown garlic as this will produce a slightly bitter flavor.

5. When garlic is cooked, add white wine.

6. Squeeze juice from lemon in pan, and reduce wine by half.

7. After it is reduced, add Italian seasoning blend.

8. Reduce heat to low, and slowly add butter, 1 Tbsp at a time. The butter should slowly melt into the sauce and create a nice creamy texture. If the pan is too hot the butter will separate.

9. Once butter is fully incorporated, add shrimp back into sauce, add parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

10. Serve with garnish of fresh cheese if desired. Scampi is great accompanied by fresh pasta.

Good choices of sides to go with this delicious dish could be Garlic bread or Baked potato. Enjoy!
