When I sit down to look at a cookbook,
I read it...page by page, cover to cover...like it's a novel.
I even read who submitted the recipe and where they're from.
I especially love to read about the recipe...
if it was handed down in the family and why it's their favorite.

But first....I want to share this delicious recipe with you!

I just purchased 5 lbs of Shrimp and 

had been looking for recipes to use it all.

I was happy to find the recipe for  

Angelic Scampi 

submitted by Cyndy DeStefano in 

the The Christmas Table

Angelic Scampi

16 oz pkg angel hair pasta, uncooked

2 tsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 lb shrimp, peeled and cleaned

1/4 cup white cooking wine, or chicken broth

2 tsp cornstarch

3/4 cup chicken broth

salt and pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm. 

meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 

Add garlic; saute' one minute. 

Add oregano; stir to coat in oil.

Add shrimp; saute' until pink, about 3 minutes. 

Pour in 1/4 white wine/chicken broth; reduce heat and simmer one minute.

In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 3/4 cup chicken broth; add to skillet.

Simmer about 2 minutes, until sauce thickens; season with salt and pepper.

Transfer cooked pasta to a large serving bowl; pour shrimp and sauce over top.

Toss before serving. Serves 4

I thought I had angel hair pasta, but didn't. 

I used thin spaghetti and it turned out perfect!

You just don't need to use as much.

I doubled the recipe tonight. 

I knew, even though there was only going

to be three of us at the table tonight, 

it would be eaten up fast! 

Oh, how right I was! We couldn't get enough of it!
