Shrimp Scampi
   
    I love shrimp scampi, you can put it on pasta or serve all by its lonesome! There are only about a million different ways to make scampi. Take a pan heat the butter, you can use a little olive oil if you want (be careful olive oil will burn at a low temp). Fresh garlic is best, mince then add to butter. When the garlic turns soft, add the other spices, wine and shrimp. The color will change to pinkish, shrimp does not long cook. You will know its ready when it turns pink and the shrimp changes in texture. Serve on pasta, salad, rice, by itself, but anything you come up with will be fun. Here are some things I like to use.

Spicy Cajun Shrimp Cobs

Get the large shrimp and bamboo or metal squires. Grilling is my favorite way to prepare them, but you can also broil and or saute them. If you are going to grill, brush them with olive oil sprinkle seasoning on. If you want something spicy, red pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika and salt. To combat the spicy side of this dish try Ludmila this gently sweet white wine will really open your world! If sweet wines are not your thing try, Pinot Gris or if you are feeling bold St. Vincent dry!
