    One pound of tagliatelle
(noodles) preferably organic
spinach fettuccine. We combined
half spinach with half regular.

    About 1/4 Colio d'oliva (EXTRA
VIRGIN olive oil)

    Lots of aglio (garlic), about 8
BIG cloves peeled and finely diced

    1 small/medium shallot finely
diced.

    Una vazzo di il vino bianco (A
glass/ 1 Cup of white wine) Using
Good Wine is a MUST - if you start out with
BAD wine, it will not get better as it cooks.
Only use wine you would drink from a
glass! più importante!!

    About 1/4 C Limonata (lemon
juice). Juice from a half a lemon.

    12 Sun Dried Pomodoro

(tail removed) Scampo (scampi

Flat leaf Italian Parsley for Garnish.

DESCRIZIONE/Description: Delicate and Delicious.
Flavorful and Fun! Easy and Entertaining! Make it tonight!

Seems a contradiction or double negative or something to call it "shrimp scampi"
since the word SCAMPI actually refers to the shrimp!

NASCITA/Origin: "Scampi. A Venetian term, dating in English print to 1920, that is in
America refers to shrimp cooked in garlic, butter, lemon juice, and white wine, commonly
listed on menus as "shrimp scampi." The true scampo (scampi is the plural) of Italy is a small
lobster or prawn, of the family Nephropidae, which in America is called a "lobsterette."" -
