Shrimp Scampi

AND HOW ABOUT GOOD OLD SHRIMP SCAMPI?
It doesn't get any easier than this:

1 lb fresh or frozen shrimp that you've defrosted & peeled
5 tablespoons Wildtree Garlic Grapeseed Oil
4 Tsp Wildtree Scampi Blend
1/2 lb of linguine or other type pasta (or no pasta at all - you can serve the shrimp with a variety of vegetables & salad)


If you are serving with Pasta - cook it ahead of time and reserve 1/4 cup pasta water before draining.

Place 3 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil, 1 1/2 tsp. of the Scampi Blend and the shrimp in a COLD skillet.  Toss and bring to a low heat, cooking until shrimp are pink, turning often. Remove shrimp from the pan leaving the cooking juices behind. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Grapeseed oil, 1/4 cup of pasta water and 2 1/2 tsps Scampi Blend to the skillet. If you don't have pasta water - just add 1/2 tsp. of cornstarch or potato flour to 1/4 cup water. Add the cooked pasta  or vegetables to the pan and toss on low heat. Toss with the shrimp.
