    Q: Do you realize that "scampi" in other countries refers to different dishes and, indeed, different sea creatures?
    A: Yes. Words have different meanings in different places. As I said, this is what scampi generally means in the United States - shrimp with garlic and butter.
    Q: Couldn't you save the shrimp shells for stock?
    A: Yes, you could. Good for you if you want to do that!
    Q: Isn't it dangerous to thaw meat in warm water?
    A: That matters when you're dealing with something bigger, like a turkey, that is gonna take hours to thaw. Shrimp thaws in minutes, so you don't have to worry about it being in the bacterial danger zone for a long time.
    Q: Why did you break the pasta?
    A: For the reason I said in the video - it makes it easier to eat. I think it's annoying to have to twirl very long strands around my fork. I find it easier to get the quantity of pasta that I actually want to eat in a single bite if I break it in half. Eat yours how you want to eat it, but honestly, I think it's pretty weird if this is something that makes you angry.
    Q: What can I do to keep the beurre blanc from breaking if I don't have xanthan gum?
    A: Honestly, yours might not break. People have pasta with beurre blanc all the time. But on a couple of occasions, mine has broken the second I mixed in the hot pasta. I suppose you could try cooling the pasta down a little bit to be safe. But honestly, xanthan gum is widely available these days, it's cheap, it has so many uses in the kitchen, and I think it really improves this sauce. Highly recommended.
    Q: I get that you like to leave the external starch coat on the rice because you like clumpy rice, but aren't you supposed to rinse rice to get off dirt and arsenic and stuff?
    A: I dunno, I'm not really worried about dirt, if there is any. Arsenic is a bigger problem with brown rice than it is with white, and in general I'm not convinced it's a big problem at all unless you eat a ton of rice, which I don't. I have a rice and arsenic video in the works. Talking to scientists.
    Q: Does this mean you're off your diet?
    A: No. I don't think people only want to watch videos about fish and cauliflower rice for the next two months, so I'm continuing to make videos about food that I think you'll like!
    Q: Are you flexing on your dad by saying you tried to "advance" his recipe?
    A: No. Our parents want us to make things better and to surpass their achievements, or at least try to. That's the whole point.
    Q: Won't the cheese overwhelm the subtle flavor of the shrimp?
    A: If you get some color on your shrimp, the flavor is not subtle. But if you don't want cheese, don't put it on!
    Q: Aren't celery leaves toxic?
    A: There's a mildly toxic compound in celery, and I've read that it's particularly concentrated in the leaves, but that's a concern for workers who are getting constant exposure on their skin all day long, etc. I've not seen any scientist say it's a problem for eaters. But you can use parsley if you don't like celery flavor.

      baked scallops, baked crab, crab dip, seafood alfredo... I think that rule has more exceptions than applications. The religion rule he mentioned doesnt really apply, Jews have rules against mixing _meat_ and _dairy_ of any kind (cheese, milk, etc.) but they dont eat shellfish since shellfish arent kosher. Halal (muslim food rules) has alot in common with Kosher but they dont have rules against mixing meat and dairy, and they dont have the same restrictions on shellfish.

    Just came back to let you guys all know, that this is by far the best recipe for Scampi. I watched like 10 other recipes on youtube (Binging with babish, Bon Appetit, preppy kitchen, not another cooking show) and they are missing so much stuff that feels natural in this recipe. They add the garlic to early, they don't brown the Shrimp first and just let them cook etc. The browning and using of the fund changes the flavor so much, just can't figure out why not everyone else is doing it.
    So really big thank you for thinking about and changing the recipe to tune it to the best form possible!

Also, if any race were to be crowned the gods/goddesses of rice, it would be Asians, seeing as the origin of rice first began in Asia. It is also a staple food there and literally everyone eats it almost every day.

    @ivonav3751 2 роки тому +1

    I've been watching Adam's videos on and off for the past couple of weeks, and this one finally prompted me to hit subscribe. That xanthan gum hint sounds invaluable! Does it also make the sauce reheatable? I use emulsion sauces for a few things I make, but it's impossible to save or reheat any for leftovers. Will have to experiment and see.
    I also always remove the tails from the shrimp, and find that if you just bend them backward until they snap before pulling off, it increases the odds of the tail not breaking off.
    Oh, and I do love celery leaves. We have been growing our own celery over the past few years, and while the stalks never get as big and thick as commercially grown, the flavor is intense, and I harvest them as much for the leaves as the stalks. I lightly saute them, then freeze in portions in small ziploc bags. They are great for any sort of stewed or sauteed application.

  • @JamesCarmichael
    @JamesCarmichael 5 років тому +4

    Crispy celery leaves are very nice over salad too. I personally put them in a dehydrator for about an hour or so and it removes the water content just leaving the flavour. You could also put them in a very low oven or just fry them in oil if you don't care about the calories.

    Don't throw the shrimp shells! They're packed with good shrimp flavor, so cover them with some water in a pot and boil them for a while. You can use that shrimp stock for any stock application, especially soups and seafood sauces (it'll round out the flavor of your scampi sauce too). Even if you don't use it, having it for the couple days it lasts doesn't hurt anybody except your fridge space.

    • @michaelcammerino9039
