Shrimp Scampi

This was delicious. Very quick to throw together and the family loved it.

Shrimp Scampi

1 ½ lbs large shrimp (16-24 count)                              
¼ cup dry white wine
1/3 cup butter (or olive oil)                                          
2 Tbsp lemon juice
4 Tbsp minced garlic                                                    
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
6 green onions, thinly sliced                                        
salt and pepper to taste


Rinse shrimp and set aside.  Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat.  Cook garlic 1-2 minutes until softened but not browned.  Add shrimp, green onions, wine and lemon juice; cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 1-2 minutes on each side.  Do not overcook.  Add chopped parsley and salt and pepper before serving.  Garnish with lemon slices and parsley springs if desired.
