    This is a brilliant recipe from beginning to end. From sauteing the shells to mixing lemon juice with cornstarch which creates a sauce not merely greasy butter. Even better to have that sauce when serving it over linguine. And the white wine is an absolute must in this dish. Brining the shrimp first is another little technique that adds that sweetness to the shrimp. Wonderful lesson on shrimp scampi. Thank you

    Really liked this cooking class. I was nine when my mom started teaching me how to cook. Between her and my Grandma I learned a lot of basics. Baked my first pie [pecan] and oatmeal cookies when I was 12. I am 70 yo now and still learning from cooking women. When I was in Jr high, I wanted to take home making, but because I was a boy they said I COULDN'T. They thought they were so smart back then and used their social cookie cutter as to what we children were suppose to be. From high school on, most girls weren't learning how to cook; they were college bound and looking for a husband who could care less if they could cook. As a scout leader, I cooked when it was my time to cook for the other leaders on camp outs. And I was practicing on dishes the other times on a camp fire or cook stove, dutch ovens, Coleman collapsing oven. I took gourmet dishes from the kitchen to the campfire, with great success; this inspired the boys to think outside of the box for camp site meals. I made sure they did their own figuring of money and buying what they needed to create their meals for the camp out. So, thank you for these videos and the parts where you explain why things are done the way they are. MK

  • @williamfkoreniii9808

    Living here in Louisiana and having beautiful large shrimp at a very reasonable cost, I used more shrimp in this recipe and tweaked the proportions, and I also served it over my homemade spaghetti. This recipe uses a tradition of Cajun cooks throughout South Louisiana, and that is the use of the shells of crustaceans as the base of a broth. Following all the steps in this video adds such a greater depth of flavor to the final dish. I made this on several occasions, and each time it resulted in a Five Star (*****) meal. Thank you for sharing this outstanding recipe. Chef William
