Scampi

Decided to prepare the left over frozen scampi I had from Easter. Been

following advice from the internet on this, and the result is fine.

First step is to thaw the scampi, by soaking 15 minutes in cold water.

Once this is done, the flesh will separate from the shell quite easily, and the small

viscera that might be left can be removed.

The next step is to turn these in a buttered pan at high heat, for a few minutes.

This first cooking then leaves one at a decision point; one can prepare a lemon butter

dipping sauce, or coat them in crumb and put them in the oven.

I think I might throw a few of these, chopped up, in tomato vegetable soup for dinner,
later today...
