Lemony Shrimp Scampi

Quick post tonight...

One of my favorite meals to make or order is Shrimp Scampi. I've been craving pasta for the past few days so I whipped this up tonight... it is one of my specialties.

Need:

- Barilla Protein Plus Pasta

- Few Tbs or so of Extra virgin o/o

- 1.5 tsp or so of Butter

- 1/2 Lemon

- 2 cloves or so of Garlic

- Peeled, de-veined uncooked Shrimp

- Tbs or so of capers

- Crushed Red Pepper & Salt

- Parmesan cheese

First, bring salted water to a boil and add your pasta.

Over low-medium heat, add o/o, butter then garlic, crushed red pepper, lemon juice and salt to a saute pan.

When the pasta is a few minutes from being done. Add the capers and then the shrimp to the pan. They only take a couple/few minutes per side. Once they are almost completely opaque... add the hot pasta (this will finish off the cooking process of the shrimp).
