Shrimp Scampi

A simple, quick pasta dish that is not too heavy. Can also be prepared with crawdad meat. Garlic bread is an excellent side dish.

Ingredients

• 6-8 Shrimp Large, Defrosted, Raw
• 6 tbsp Butter
• ¼ cup White Onion, Diced
• 2 Tomatoes, Diced
• ¼ tsp Dried Chili Peppers
• 1 tsp Minced Garlic
• 2 servings Boiled Spaghetti

Procedure

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat
2. Sweat the diced onions in the butter until they start to turn semi-translucent
3. Add in the diced tomato and stir occasionally. Season with about ¼ tsp of Dried Chili Peppers, or to taste
4. When the tomatos start to produce a light pink sauce with the butter and onions, add the minced garlic and shrimp and reduce heat to medium-low. Add spaghetti and stir to coat.
5. Plate when the shrimp are just about cooked – take care not to overcook them in this dish.
