Shrimp Scampi

Hello ladies,
Please help me out on this one, my 4 years old saw a commercial on TV and want me to cook as it appear to be shrimp scampi.  So I thought I’d give it a try, please correct me if I’m wrong.

Many thanks in advanced!



Ingredients:
250g of #5 spaghetti
500g of shrimp, cleaned, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoon of garlic, diced
2 tablespoon of shallots, diced
1 tablespoon of parsley
5 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1/2 cup of white cooking wine
2 cups of water
A dust of salt and peppers

Directions:
Bring water to boiled in a large stockpot over medium-high heat, add spaghetti and 2 tablespoon of cooking oil and cook for 8 minutes (that’s what it said on the package). Once it done, rinse with water and drain it in a basket (well, I don’t have a pasta strainer:) so that’s what best I could find) and set it aside.

Seasoned shrimp with a dust of salt and peppers and set it aside to be used.

Browned diced garlic and diced shallots With olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add seasoned shrimp.  Cook for a couple of minutes till both side turn pink and remove it to a plate.

Heat up another medium saucepan over medium heat, add cooking wine, spaghetti, and your marinated shrimp.  Stir it together and add parsley to be done.
I’d prefer it to be a little bit spicy, so I sprinkle with some hot sauce and some more salt and peppers on mine.


To be honest, it taste quite delicious.  Hopefully I didn’t miss anything that suppose to be in the ingredients
