Vieux Carré Scampi

Total time: 30 minutes
    This is based on one of a 'box' of recipes I got years ago.  It's a bit heavy on the butter, which makes it ideal for serving over rice or pasta... or Quinoa.

 Ingredients:

• 12oz (360gr) shrimp (prawns)
• 1 tbs lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 tbs dried parsley
• 2 tbs butter
• 1/2 cup (2oz, 60gr) shredded cheese - your choice, I use Gruyère

 Instructions:

• Clean shrimp if needed. 
• Divide into 2 buttered, shallow, individual baking dishes or 1 larger one, arranging nicely. 
• Divide garlic, shallots, parsley and sprinkle over shrimp. 
• Drizzle with lemon juice, dot with remaining butter and sprinkle the cheese over all. 
• Bake at 375F (190C) for 15 - 20 minutes, until hot, bubbly and shrimp are done. 
• Time varies depending on size of shrimp.  Serve. 

Note: I put the small dishes on a baking sheet for easier handling.
