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.
