Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Essence
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch cayenne
- 1/4 cup dry white wine or Vermouth
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chiffonade basil
- 1 loaf Garlic Bread, recipe follows
- Finely grated Parmesan cheese, garnish
Directions
In a bowl, lightly season the shrimp with the Essence.
In a large skillet or saute pan, melt the butter and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne and cook, stirring, until the garlic is soft and fragrant but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is reduced by half. Lower the heat to medium-high, add the shrimp, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until the shrimp are opaque and starting to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the green onions and cook until the shrimp are pink. Stir in the parsley and basil and remove from the heat. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
To serve, spoon the shrimp and sauce into the bottom half of the prepared garlic bread. Sprinkle lightly with cheese and top with the remaining garlic bread. Cut into 4 portions and serve immediately.
Garlic Bread:
1 loaf fresh French or Italian bread, about 22 inches long, cut in half lengthwise
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dehydrated garlic flakes, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
With a fork or your fingers, pull out the excess bread and hollow slightly the center of the loaf.
In a bowl, cream together the remaining ingredients and spread evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until just golden brown and bubbly.
Serve hot.
Dehydrated Garlic Flakes:
1 head garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
Preheat the oven to 120 degrees F or the lowest setting. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the sliced garlic on the baking sheet and bake until completely dried and lightly browned, about 3 hours.
Remove and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

This recipe is awesome! I made this last night. I can tell you it's pretty rich and would pair well with a Sauvingnon Blanc or another dry wine. I knew I was in for a treat based on how my place was smelling with garlic and green onions. It was divine! I only made one change to the recipe since I was short on time. I used dried minced garlic instead of making my own flakes. It still turned out well. It was definitely yummy and I will make this again. I'll even make the scampi itself and serve that over linguini if I don't have a baguette. As a matter of fact that's what I plan on doing.

I hate to sound stupid, but why go through the trouble of dehydrating the garlic, and then "rehydrate" it in the spread? Why not just use fresh minced garlic? Or at worst, the dehydrated garlic in a bottle (I know, not quite the same? 3 hours in the oven is gonna make some pretty expensive garlic chips.
