Ingredients:
- 1 (2-pound) bag frozen peel shrimp (21-25 per pound) or pre-peeled shrimp
- 3 to 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or to taste)
How to cook Tailgaiting with the Best Shrimp Scampi:
- Prior to game (at home), run cold water over shrimp until they are unfrozen, completely peel shrimp. Then, store peeled shrimp in a freezer bag and transport to game in a cooler over ice.
- At game, heat olive oil in frying pan (about 5 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep). Add minced garlic once oil is hot – but not burning or frying.
- Cut lemon in half, save one half. Take other half of lemon, cut into quarters and set aside.
- Once garlic just starts to brown, throw in all of the shrimp, stir shrimp. Keep stirring to make sure that the shrimp is evenly pink. Once all of the shrimp are opaque and pink, take off heat.
- In frying pan of shrimp, add salt, juice from the 1/2 lemon and cayenne pepper. Mix. Transfer to plate, top with parsley, and throw the lemon quarters on the side.
