A reward for your help, my Shrimp Scampi recipe.

2 lbs of cleaned and de-veined medium sized raw shrimp.
4-8 cloves of garlic depending on size of cloves,
pressed or chopped finely, use your own judgment on
the amount of garlic, but remember too much garlic will
overpower the taste of the shrimp, I use about a tablespoon
of pressed garlic.
1 half stick of unsalted butter.
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil.
1/4 cup of Italian flavor bread crumbs.
1/3 cup of fresh chopped parsley.
1/3 cup of grated Romano cheese.
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
1 lb Linguine pasta or Spaghetti or Spaghetti Rigati.

Before preparing the scampi get your water boiling
ready for your pasta.
Place a sauté pan large enough to hold all your
shrimp on a low heat and add the olive oil and
butter to it, the secret to great shrimp is to
ALWAYS use low heat. Once your butter has completely
melted add your garlic to the pan and sauté over low
heat until your garlic begins to brown and everything
is foamy, add your shrimp at this point and sauté for
a minute and then cover the pan(Keeping heat low).
Add your pasta to the water at this point
(Salting pasta water is optional).
Uncover shrimp and turn each of them over and
cover again for 2 minutes, you don't want to lose
those tasty juices coming out of the shrimp.
Uncover pan and look at shrimp, if they all are
opaque turn off the heat and add the bread crumbs
and stir then cover again, check your pasta, if done drain.
Uncover shrimp and add your salt and pepper, stir,
put your drained pasta back into pot used to boil
it and dump your pan of shrimp in with it and toss
together, add the parsley and toss, put all into a
large serving bowl and sprinkle cheese on top and serve. Enjoy!
This isn't real Shrimp Scampi, but my version of it,
restaurants don't usually serve it over pasta.
This and a salad make a great meal!

I love Shrimp Scampi.

I voted many many times for you.

What did "we" (meaning others, not me) do to warrant such a lovely reward?
