Shrimp Scampi

Adapted from The Food Network

Shrimp scampi is one of my favorite meals, especially from South Beach Grill at Wrightsville Beach. We've made a lot of meals with shrimp, but hadn't tried shrimp scampi until tonight. If you haven't noticed we love garlic and onion, so as expected another perfect meal!

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. linguine
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/2 onion, minced
• 2 scallions, minced
• 3 tsps. fresh parsley
• 30 medium cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2/3 cup white wine
• optional 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes (for a little kick)

Directions:
Prepare linguine according to package directions. In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add garlic, onion, shallots, parsley, and red pepper if desired. Saute until soft. Add shrimp and cook until firm, about 5 minutes. Add wine to skillet and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes. Drain pasta and toss with sauce.

Yield: 2 servings
