Recipe for Scampi Magali. This recipe comes to us from Newport Beach, California's Restaurant Pascal, which was voted Orange County, CA's number 1 restaurant by the Zagat Guide.

Ingredients

  • 16 shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 shot Anise Liqueur (Pastis)
  • 2 ounces clarified butter
  • 3 ounces white wine
  • 4 ounces heavy cream
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded, skinned (use a vegetable peeler) and sliced
  • 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch thinly sliced basil (leaves only)

Directions

  1. Brown shrimp over high heat in just enough clarified butter to prevent sticking (about 1 large spoonful) for about 2 minutes on each side. Do not burn them! Remove shrimp. Add garlic, liqueur, wine, salt and pepper to the same pan. Reduce by 1/3. Add cream and reduce again to 1/3. Add tomatoes, basil and remaining butter. Return shrimp to pan. Remove from heat after butter melts. Serve on warm plates.
