Linguine With Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients:

Vegetable Oil
Kosher salt
1 1/2 pounds linguine
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
5 tablespoons good olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic (9 cloves)
2 pounds large shirmp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced in half-rounds
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

Drizzle  oil in a large pot of boiling salted water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the linguine, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or according to the directions on the package.

Meanwhile, in another large, heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of salt, and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
When the pasta is done, drain the cooked linguine and then put it back in the pot. Immediately add the shrimp and sauce, toss well, and serve.

The BP Oil Spill & the Shrimp Industry – and Update

While BP oil reported 7.7 billion in profits for the last quarter of 2011, Gulf fisherman are having the worst season ever.  Catches are down 80%.

Shrimp boats are returning to dock nearly empty, hauling in deformed, discolored shrimp, even shrimp without eyes.

After 2 years, BP is finally going to be going to trial and we hope the company is forced to make this dire situation right. The oil is still very much in the ocean, under sand and polluting the water.  Just because this story is out of the limelight does not mean the repercussions, economic and environmental, has faded one bit.

Once in every two days is allowed to eat 150-200 grams of sugar beet. Fresh herbs – dill, parsley, celery, onion and garlic – can be used without any restrictions.
