This can be VERY spicy!

Spicy Broiled Shrimp

Served over Pasta

lb medium size Shrimp (I used peeled, some may preferred unpeeled)

T butter

T olive oil (best quality you have)

cloves garlic, minced (more if preferred :)

/2t ground white pepper

/2t red pepper flakes

/4t cayanne pepper

/4t dried oregano (or 1/2 t fresh minced)

/2 lemon - juice of

/2C parmesean cheese

T italian bread crumbs (or bread crumbs with a little salt, pepper,

oregano and basil added).

1/4C parsley - minced

salt - to taste

lb cooked fettucini or linquini

Melt butter with the olive oil in a saute pan that can be used under

the broiler and that is large enough to hold the shrimp in a thin

layer.

When mixture is hot, add the garlic. Toss about and don't let it

burn. While it cooks, add the white pepper, red pepper flakes,

oregano and cayanne pepper, stir well. When garlic looks cooked but

not brown (3 minutes), add the shrimp. Toss the shrimp about in the

pan, coating with the spiced oil. Add the lemon juice and keep

tossing over the heat. Quickly add the parsley, bread crumbs and

parmesean. Toss to coat completely. The shrimp should now be bright

pink and cooked through.

Place the pan under the broiler until cheese looks melted and the

smell infuses your kitchen (1-2 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning
