Scampi with Smoked Salmon
over Fresh Spinach Linguine

Show # 5 Monterey Bay Salmon 

This is one of those “one-dish” wonders that will satisfy everyone. Shrimp Scampi takes on a new angle with the addition of smoked salmon and Chef Tene’s secret ingredient …tequila.

Ingredients

1lb 16-20 Shrimp, tails on, peeled and de-veined
¼ cup olive oil
½ lb smoked salmon, skin removed and cut into 1” pieces
2 T Garlic, chopped
¼ C Tequila
2 T Herb-Garlic Compound Butter
Salt and Pepper To Taste
1lb Fresh Spinach Linguine-prepared according to package instructions and drained well
Chopped Italian Parsley to Garnish

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil sauté pan over high heat
  2. Add the shrimp to the pan and sauté until pink (2-3 minutes) do not over-cook.
  3. Add the garlic, salt and pepper toss together.
  4. Carefully add the tequila to the shrimp and allow to catch flame long enough for the alcohol to burn off.
  5. Reduce heat and add the smoked salmon the scampi. Sauté for another minute or two and finish by adding the compound butter to the pan.
  6. Remove from the heat and serve over the prepared spinach linguine. Garnish with Italian parsley.
