spicy shrimp scampi.
hello again, here we are with what is technically the fourth "quickie fake fancy" bka QFF dishes, but since I made no reference to it in the last two posts we'll site this as the second recipe in the series. for those who haven't seen the previous posts, QFF = fresh, light-ish, very low maintenance, simple, delicious, in some cases mostly just assembly but all the same, still allows for the prepare to have airs about them 💁🏼♀️. It's mostly just easy warm weather recipes to be paired with great wines or sparkling apple ciders. 🤣
this recipe, very similar to my clams in white wine sauce is the most fabulous 15 minutes of your life. a dish so elegant but one that takes absolutely no effort to execute. pairs well with a warm and sunny day on your patio or fire escape, enjoying a gorgeous white wine to keep you company. like anything made w/ white wine sauces, its incredible over your pasta of choice or just as great for dipping in crusty bread. dealers choice and both are immaculate.
Next time I make this dish I will toast up some panko breadcrumbs with extra parsley (instead of just adding extra at the end),for added flavor and texture.
