Scampi Alla Griglia (Broiled Shrimp)
- 2 lbs (900 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 Tbs (90 ml) butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 3 - 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1- 2 shallots or scallions (spring onions), finelychopped
- 2 Tbs (30 ml) lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Chopped flat-leaf parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for garnish
- Place the shrimp in a large, shallow baking dish big enough to hold them in a single layer. Combine the butter, olive oil, garlic, shallots, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and pour over the shrimp. Place the dish 3 to 4 inches (8 to 10 cm) under a preheated broiler and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the shrimp over and broil for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the shrimp are lightly browned and firm to the touch - do not overcook. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and pour the remaining sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges. Serves 4 to 6.
