The Realtor's Shrimp Scampi W/Spaghetti

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (like Texas Pete)
• 1 lb shrimp, cooked and cleaned
• 1/2 lb thin spaghetti
• 1/2 cup grated romano cheese

Directions

1. 1

   Start the water for the spaghetti and cook the spaghetti while you are doing the following.

2. 2

   In a skillet over medium high heat, melt butter, add oil and garlic. Cook garlic until it just starts to brown, about 4 or 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the wine, lemon juice, parsley, lemon pepper and tobasco.

4. 4

   Simmer 5 minutes.

5. 5

   After the 5 minutes are up, add the shrimp to the skillet and stir them around so they are covered with the juice and turn off the burner. Just let them soak in there, doing the backstroke through the sauce while the spaghetti finishes cooking. Stir them around a couple of times while you're waiting.

6. 6

   Drain the spaghetti and put it in the serving bowl, pour the shrimp and all the sauce over top and sprinkle the entire 1/2 cup (or more) of parmesan over the top and serve.

7. 7

   Pass more romano cheese at the table. Is there ever enough cheese on there?
