William Pollock's Eat Happy: LaScala Scampi

Yield:

6 servings

Notes

I imagine "La Scala" as being That Place on the Lake Almanor Peninsula back in 1978.

I'll say that this recipe has a distinct "almost healthy except for that huge gob of olive oil bit."

Ingredients

24	large prawns or shrimp, peeled, de-veined and split lengthwise
	salt and pepper
1/2 cup	olive oil
1/2 cup	white wine
1	lemon, juiced
1/2 cup	chicken stock
2	large shallots, chopped
2 Tbl	basil
2 Tbl	oregano

Preparation

Arrange butterflied prawns in baking pan. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Combine oil, wine, lemon juice, chicken stock, shallots, basil and oregano and pour over shrimp.

Cook under broiler for 10 minutes or until golden.

**WARNING: COMING OUT OF THE BROILER, THE COMBINATION OF SLOSHY FLUIDS WILL BE EXCEPTIONALLY HOT AND SHOULD BE EXPECTED A BURN RISK**
