Default Red Lobster "Style" Shrimp Scampi

Shrimp Scampi
(Red Lobster style)

If you have seen a "KOPY" recipe of Red Lobster Shrimp Scampi it probably
looks
very similar to the one below. Well, I can tell you from experience that
IT IS
AN ABSOLUTE BUST!

1 cup White Wine
1/2 cup unsalted Butter do not use Margarine
3 tsp. minced Garlic
1 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined

Bake at 350-degree oven for about 6 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to
overcook the Shrimp. The shrimp is done when it has turned pink.

This past year I wanted to fix my wife one of her favorite dishes for
Valentine's Day. Red Lobster's Shrimp Scampi is one of her very top
favorites. So I researched the Internet and found the above recipe 5 or 6
times as "the best guess" since Red Lobster uses a secret mix. Well, I
fixed the shrimp exactly like the recipe says and they had little flavor
and were mostly RAW. Notice that the recipe says nothing about what size
shrimp to buy. The bigger the shrimp, the more time needed to cook them.
Notice that it says nothing about how to mix the ingredients or what
size/type of pan to use. Red Lobster's Shrimp Scampi are slightly crispy
on the "UP" side. It is one of the things that makes them so good. So
forget the above recipe and after several trials and my wife's taste buds
as the judge, here is a much better shot at Red Lobster "Like" Shrimp
Scampi.

Step 1 Go buy your shrimp. This recipe will be for LARGE shrimp (21-30 per
pound) Red Lobster's shrimp that they use might be LARGE MEDIUMS (30-40
per pound), but more likely are MEDIUMS (40-50 per pound). The smaller the
shrimp, the less the cooking time. Remember: Bigger-Longer;
Smaller-Shorter.
Step 2 Sprinkle the cleaned/prepared shrimp thoroughly with onion powder
and garlic powder and then let them set in the refrigerator for at least
3-4 hours, overnight is even better.
Step 3 Choose the right pan. You want a pan that will allow all of the
shrimp lie flat on the bottom; none stacked on top of one another.
Step 4 Now take 1 cup of white wine, 3 tsp of minced garlic and a stick
of real butter and put them into a bowl and microwave them until
everything is very warm. Don't over-microwave them, just very warm.
Step 5 Now with a small whisk, stir up everything thoroughly and pour the
liquid in the pan with the shrimp until the liquid is about 1/2 to 3/4 up
the side of the shrimp. The "top" side of the shrimp needs to be exposed
to the heat. DO NOT completely cover the shrimp in the liquid. This
mixture should probably do 2 lbs of shrimp.
Step 6 Now with your broiler hot and ready for cooking and with your
oven's shelf on the top slot, closest to the broiler, cook your LARGE
shrimp about 5 minutes. Then turn the shrimp over on their other sides
and repeat the process for another 5 minutes. With smaller shrimp the
cooking time might have to be shortened a little.
Step 7 Now let the shrimp "rest" for about 10 minutes at room temperature
and then EAT THOSE MAGNIFICENT SHRIMP. God bless. Mike
