SHRIMP AND CRAB SCAMPI RECIPES

Steps:

• Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.
• Meanwhile, in another large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
• When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If using frozen shrimp, thaw and peel leaving tails on. Add shrimp in a single layer to 13 x 9 baking dish. Prepare sauce by mixing lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano until salt crystals have dissolved. Whisk in olive oil. Pour sauce over shrimp in baking dish. Place butter slices on top of shrimp. Lightly season on top with additional salt, pepper, and oregano. You can also season with dried parsley and paprika for color if desired. Bake for 10 minutes or until shrimp are cooked - the exterior should turn pink with red tails and the flesh will be slightly opaque and a little “white” in color.
