CLASSIC SHRIMP SCAMPI

There are many variations on this classic. In our version, our delicate, creamy early harvest olive oils with high smoke points make them the perfect olive oil type for this recipe. Serve with crusty bread, drizzles of Garlic olive oil and toss with a dish of perfectly prepared spaghetti.

In a very large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the garlic, chili flakes (or fresh) and parsley cooking over moderately high heat for 10 seconds, stirring.
