01.01.2003 -starter -shrimp Sautéed shrimp scampi with garlic butter and Boursin« This is a fun recipe I like to serve from the frying pan in the middle of the table. Shell these delicious scampi with your dainty fingers and you won't be able to resist wanting to lick your fingers when they're covered with garlic sauce, parsley, Boursin and white wine. And of course you can serve the same recipe as a starter. "
It isn't the most refined recipe, but it's a quick and easy one you can eat without a fuss. Set the frying pan in the middle of the table for your guests to serve themselves straight from it and shell those delicious creatures with their fingers. Make sure there is lots of sauce and lots of bread because you'll see that nobody can resist mopping it all up. You'll be left with practically clean plates! »  Send to a friend  Print  Send your commentIngredients
