How To Make the best scampi - cass's

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet until is very hot. Add the shrimp and saute for about 2 minutes or until about halfway cooked. Shake the pan to move around.

    Add the garlic and cook for about another minute. Moving the pan as it cooks. Or use a spatula, shaking the pan back n forth works best for me.

    Now, add the butter and reduce heat and continue cooking till melted.

    Stir in the parsley and lemon juice and plate immediately. I usually double the batch as they are delicious!
