Scampi Alla Griglia Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to medium. Put bread crumbs in a bowl and mix with enough olive oil to moisten well. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in parsley. Roll shrimp in mixture til well coated.
• 2. Layer shrimp in an oiled casserole and spread a little of the leftover bread crumbs on the top. Sprinkle with olive oil and bake for about 5 minutes or til crumbs form a golden crust. Put under broiler briefly to brown. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Remove the dark intestinal veins from the shrimp. As you do, make each cut deep enough to butterfly the shrimp, so each can be opened flat like a book. Fill a bowl with ice water, add the sea salt and the butterflied shrimp, and let stand for 15 minutes to bring out some of the briny flavor of the shellfish. (Removing their shells robs the shrimp of some of their natural flavor.) Drain and dry thoroughly with a cotton kitchen towel.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and hot pepper and sauté gently until the garlic softens but is not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, placing them opened flat on the bottom of the pan so they do not curl too much. Sauté, turning once, until they are opaque, about 2 minutes on each side. Add the wine, stir and cook for an additional 30 seconds to allow alcohol to evaporate. Remove and discard the whole peppers, if using. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
