Shrimp and Scallops with garlic wine sauce
I grew up in a very small town in Southwestern PA. Very. Small. The kind of small town where the “fancy” restaurant is The Red Lobster (always pronounced as The Red Lobster because there can be only one.) that you had to travel 1/2 an hour to get to. One of my very favorite things to get at The Red Lobster was the scampi.
I always felt a little decadent and grown up eating scampi. I mean after all it did have wine in it right? It said so right on the menu! You have to be mature to handle a dish like that, or so I told myself. And when the pathetic little dish of scampi arrived with the overcooked super tiny balls of shrimp, I was in heaven. And you best believe I ate all that sauce too. “Come ‘ere cheddar biscuits and help a sister out!”
Please, don’t even front and act like you don’t know what I’m talking…
