Shrimp Scampi

One of the requests at the restaurant that I guest chef at is Shrimp Scampi.  I never realized how quick and easy it is to make this.  I have always thought it is a little bland so I have added a few thing to make it a little more zippy and flavorful to this recipe I found.  My son loves shrimp so he didn't mind me practicing on him to get it right. I served this over angel hair pasta.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1/2 C white wine a small dash of red pepper flakes 2 pounds medium raw shrimp, shelled, & deveined.

Directions:

1.	Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2.	In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes,and parsley. When the butter melts completely, remove from heat.
3.	Arrange shrimp in a shallow baking dish. Pour the butter mixture over the shrimp.
4.	Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
