Shrimp in Garlic Butter over Pasta
Apple and Walnut Salad

Cooking time: 25 minutes for menu           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      This is an easy 2-course dinner to end the week - or start the weekend...

Shrimp (Prawns) in Garlic Butter over Pasta

Total time: 25 minutes
      This is a variation on Scampi, Shrimp in Garlic Butter. The lemon juice and white wine extend the sauce without using quite so much butter and the Prosciutto is a sweet/salty counterpoint to the shrimp, balancing the flavors nicely. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan or not...  You can use frozen, raw shrimp or pre-cooked for this.
