Recipe first for 4 people based on Scampi.
Preparation: To savor all the flavor of this first course, you will have to prepare the sauce at the moment; then use the cooking time for the linguine. Clean and wash the scampi, let them dry and cut them in half lengthwise. In a large saucepan, let the oil flavor with the crushed clove of garlic; as soon as the latter has browned, remove it and cook the scampi. Add salt, flavor with a pinch of chilli pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, turning the crustaceans from time to time. Boil the pasta in boiling salted water, drain it al dente and put it in the scampi pan; season it with the lemon juice, the zest (only the yellow part) cut into thin strips and a handful of finely chopped parsley. Mix well to allow the flavors to blend and serve hot.
Ingredients: 400 g of Linguine-like pasta - 400 g of not too large scampi - 1 lemon - 1 clove of garlic - 1 handful of chopped parsley - extra virgin olive oil - salt - 1 pinch of chilli pepper
