foolish_m0rtalYes, and it's another round of legitimate food this week. The shrimp scampi I made was cooked in white wine, but I've also included a recipe that gives the shrimp that same kind of tang without the liquid of sin.
Beautiful version of everything that was right about the Prohibition movement, courtesy of Wikipedia: "There was a clear consensus that while alcohol was a gift from God, its abuse was from the Devil."
Amen
Shrimp Scampi
10-12 Shrimp (peeled, deveined, sans tails)
2 large garlic cloves (finely diced)
1/4 stick butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 c. white wine (I used a white Zinfandel that someone had given us. This can substitute pretty well for white wine in cooking)
1 tsp. chopped parsley
few tbsp. bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon salt (this is like, a few dashes, just for taste)
1) In a skillet on medium heat, cook shrimp in olive oil till done. (Shrimp should be pink and solid looking with no transparency)
2) Push shrimp to the side. Saute the bread crumbs, salt, parsley and garlic in the butter until lightly browned. (Add garlic last so that it doesn't get brown.)

3) Pour in wine and mix shrimp and bread crumb mixture together, stirring just enough to let everything soak it in. If you want more of a paste and less of a sauce, add few more tablespoons of bread crumbs.
Serve shrimp alone or mixed with linguini pasta.
Teetotalers: Instead of white wine, use the juice from one lemon.
Shrimp FTW! You can never go wrong with Shrimp! (Okay, so my MOM added more bread crumbs even though I told her not to, so the above looks less like sauce and more like mush...It was tasty mush, though!)
