San Francisco Shrimp Scampi

San Francisco Shrimp Scampi Recipe

From "San Francisco a la Carte", this shrimp scampi is delicious, flavored with olive oil, garlic, lemon, parsley, capers, vermouth and Parmesan cheese. You whip the sauce up in the blender and this takes no time at all but tastes like you went to a lot of trouble. This does need to marinate for one hour so allow time for that...but otherwise it's almost a joke how easy (and yet tasty) this is. Serve over rice or noodles or alongside couscous with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
