Shrimp Scampi – Mexican style
To make this dish, you must first make Slow-Cooked Garlic in oil, or Mojo de Ajo, aka “Liquid Goldâ€. I’ve used a similar technique before, and I’ve got to tell you – there is nothing that makes your house smell better than slowly roasting garlic in olive oil. Okay, a dozen roses might smell just as good, but I’m a ‘foodie’ Chef Rick Bayless, of Frontera Grill in Chicago offers this slightly more scintillating version of the classic Scampi. Once you have your “Liquid Goldâ€, the process is quick and easy to make ’Garlicky Linguine with Seared Shrimp and Chipotle’.
Of course, you can omit the chipotle and use parsley instead of cilantro – but what would be the point? Alright, it would be more traditional… but PLEASE don’t skip over the idea of making slow-cooked garlic in oil – that has so many uses that it should be a staple in your fridge!
Ole!
