Recipe of the Week! Shrimp Scampi

Now in the Lenten Season where many of us choose not, for religious purposes, to eat meat on Fridays... Here is a classic that is easy to prepare with only a few simple ingredients.

• 1 1/2 lbs Medium Shrimp in Shells (thawed if frozen/uncooked)
• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
• 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 2 medium Green Onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
• Parmesan Cheese, grated, if desired

Peel shrimp. Make a shallow cut lengthwise down back of each shrimp; wash out vein.

In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook shrimp and remaining ingredients except cheese in oil 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until shrimp are pink and firm; remove from heat. Sprinkle with cheese.

Serve with your favorite pasta side dish or Risotto. Also, serve with steak for a 'Surf & Turf' meal sure to please.
