Shrimp Scampi | Lemon Garlic Linguine Amongst Sautéed Shrimp | Quick Pasta Dinner

My go-to quick dinner is oft times Shrimp Scampi amongst Linguine.  I'll develop it on a Dominicus dark later on nosotros larn abode from traveling over the weekend, or a quick dinner for 1 if Mike is out of town.  It is 1 of my favorites to develop for companionship - it somehow seems elegant, but costs really piffling to brand ($15 for 4 people) as well as takes 10-15 minutes.  Boil some water, saute garlic as well as shrimp, serve a salad as well as some crusty bread... done!

Like most neat Italian 'recipes' the recipe is non actually a recipe, but a listing of ingredients.  If yous don't direct maintain whatever white vino to a greater extent than or less (and don't experience similar opening an entire bottle for a Tuesday dark dinner... past times yourself - hey, possibly yous do!) yous tin sack larn out it out.  No butter?  Just purpose olive crude oil as well as possibly a piffling extra garlic for to a greater extent than flavor.  Want to throw inward some spinach to add together some nutrients?  Go ahead.  This is an e'er evolving recipe for me.  On whatever given night, I'll add together tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, pancetta, basil, olives or some heavy cream.  Go crazy. 

For dinner final night, I reverted dorsum to the classic version.  It is overnice to larn crazy sometimes, but tin sack go only equally overnice to proceed it simple. 


Here's the basic recipe to larn yous started.
