I think I'm going to make shrimp scampi tonight. Shrimp is so easy and it always seems fancy. This is an adaptation of my grandfather's recipe:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Peel & devein shrimp. Sprinkle shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika.
Mince LOTS of garlic and set aside. Mince about 1/4 c. parsley and set aside.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1 minute on each side, or until slightly curled. Add the garlic to the skilled and cook for one minute more. Add the juice of 1 lemon and the zest of half the lemon. Simmer for one more minute and add parsley. The shrimp are done when they're just firm to the touch, very pink and curled. Serve over rice or pasta.
