Instructions:

Scampi

2 pounds shrimp, fresh or frozen
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 cup butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/4 teaspoon basil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground pepper

If shrimp are frozen, thaw in shell just to separate. Rinse in cold water and place in boiling water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Drain shrimp and cool enough to handle. Remove shells and devein shrimp. If shrimp are already shelled, use only 1 pound and separate.

Put minced garlic into melted butter in a medium-size skillet. Let stand over heat for a few minutes to frizzle garlic. Add herbs, lemon juice, wine, salt and pepper. Arrange shrimp in skillet and heat until shrimp are cooked, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

Yields 4 servings.
