Shrimp Scampi on the Fire

[cowgirl]

This recipe is one that Smoken Yankee posted. It's for indoor cooking, but I'm having issues with my natural gas here on the farm...sooooo...I made it outside over a small wood fire.


Smoken Yankee's recipe...
4TBLS. oil
3TBLS butter
1TBLS minced garlic
20-40 pelled med/lg shrimp
1/2tps crushed red pepper
1tps oregano
1/2tsp salt
2TBLS flour
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
and 1tsp lemon juice

I combined my wine, chicken broth and lemon juice in one container so it would be easier to carry outside. lol
The flour, red pepper, oregano and salt....



I sauteed my garlic in the butter and oil...



Added the shrimp, red pepper, oregano and salt...




Stirred in the flour....



Added the broth, wine and lemon juice and let it simmer for 10 minutes...



The finished shrimp scampi...



Served over rice...

It was tasty, I liked the added flavor of the wood smoke too. :)



Thanks to Smoken Yankee and Thank you for checking out my campfire meal. :)

Looks awesome.
This is what I made up.
I HIGHLY recommend trying with the water chestnuts. It adds a delicate flavor and a nice crunch.
Yall know I'm a weird f'er.
I eat this with chopsticks.
