Shrimp Scampi


 Shrimp Scampi  is one recipe that I've been cooking back in Saudi Arabia for many reasons:

1. Easy to cook- just mix all the ingredients (shrimp melted butter, garlic salt and parsley) together and throw in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

2. Very cheap- we can buy it at the fish market at very low price and the pay for one kilo and you will get one and a half kilo shrimp by simply showing your charm and sweet smile. That's how generous the vendors are to their costumer.

3. Availability- because the place where I used to live is near the sea, there is too much supply of fresh sea food everyday.

4. Fresh- and if you are lucky enough you'll get live ones too.


Serve with rice and a  Lemon Butter sauce dip.

  7. Wow! I super duper love shrimp Miss Tess! I especially love my Mama's version where you she put butter and sprite.Then stir-fry. But she's in heaven now and I miss all her specialties.

    Your version is slightly different because you bake the shrimp together with all the ingredients. Did you put some herbs? I can see from the picture that you posted green herbs.

    You ought to cook them for us when you come home for a visit ha ha ha! Biglang pinaluto e =)) !
