Shrimp Scampi

Thank you Erin for sending me this recipe for Shrimp Scampi. Erin, one of my best friends from high school, got this recipe from her mom who got the recipe from Mariah's mom. Mariah is another best friend from high school. Oh, the recipe chain. I love it!

I love shrimp and this dish is really fast, easy, and satisfying. As Erin recommended, I served it with some sourdough bread to sop up the delicious sauce. Here's the recipe:

Shrimp Scampi
1/4 cup Olive Oil
6-7 cloves chopped Garlic
3-4 Tbs Melted Butter
20 Raw Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
Shredded Parmesan Cheese

1/2 cup Chicken Broth
Juice of 1 Lemon
Salt
Pepper
1 tsp Basil
1 Tbs Parsley
Cooked Angel Hair Pasta


Heat Oil in large pan over medium heat. Sautee garlic for 2-3 min. Add melted butter and shrimp to pan and sautee for 5 min. Sprinkle some cheese into pan at the end of 5 min. Add broth, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and cook for 1 min or until shrimp are done. Remove from heat, add parsley and basil. Stir. Spoon over cooked angel hair and serve with additional parmesan cheese.
