NORELLLAURA Recipe ∽ Shrimp Scampi ala Norelllaura

I've been tinkering with scampi recipes for a while and was never quite satisfied until the other night when I created this one. Everyone raved and said I should post it. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
• 1 cup flour for dredging
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ⅓ cup dry white wine
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Cooking Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir the garlic, bell pepper, and red pepper flakes in the oil about 20 minutes. Dredge the shrimp in the flour to coat, then shake off the excess. Raise heat to medium-high and stir in the shrimp and tomato; cook until the shrimp is pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice, wine, and butter; continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes more. Garnish with parsley to serve.
