Smells so good as it cooks
I had to sneak a taste!
Lemon, Butter, and Garlic, Oh My!
Combining some of the finest ingredients, this Shrimp Scampi dish will give you a sensation of eating gourmet. Fragrant of lemon citrus and garlic, silken texture of olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter; this dish simply melts in your mouth! Pretty to admire, yet, even better to taste, I recommend that you serve this dish to any food critic; you will surely receive the most remarkable acclaim!
Ingredients
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Tbs. olive oil + 1/4 cup of olive oil

Directions
- In a large skillet, saute onion, garlic, and Italian seasonings in 2 TBS. of Olive Oil
- Meanwhile, fill a pot 3/4 full of water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to boil
- Once water starts boiling, add the Fettucini noodles and cook until desired texture is reached
- After the garlic is fragrant and the onions become translucent, add the shrimp, lemon juice, butter, and remaining olive oil; stir and bring mixture to a boil
- Accordingly, once you see bubbles, reduce the heat so that the shrimp scampi sauce can simmer until the Fettucini noodles are finished cooking
- Drain the noodles from the water, pour them back into pot
- Pour the Shrimp Scampi sauce onto the Fettucini noodles, fold together
- Serve adorned with fresh grated Paremesan cheese and fresh ground pepper or red pepper flakes (optional)
