Like Scampi?

In Italy scampi are jumbo shrimp of the kind that have claws and resemble small lobsters, and calling something "jumbo shrimp shrimp" doesn't make much sense. This doesn't mean we don't enjoy the recipe, however. Just that they're called scampi alla piastra.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

•Figure a pound (400 g) of scampi per person, and, per pound:

•1 clove garlic

•2 tablespoons minced parsley

•Olive oil

•Dry white wine

•Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

For a pound of scampi, mince a clove of garlic and 2 tablespoons parsley, preheat your oven to 350 F (175 C), put the scampi on a rack in a baking tray, sprinkle them with the herbs, a little olive oil, and a half cup of dry white wine, season to taste with salt and pepper, and bake them for about 10 minutes (if you do them over the coals the time will be less, until they are pale pink, and turn them once or twice).
 The wine? A Lugana Brut from Cà dei Frati.
