Mediterranean Shrimp Scampi

This is one of our favorite dishes – love the seafood – and we rarely leave Costco without a big package of SeaPak Shrimp Scampi. Tina found this recipe in “Cooking in Style the Costco Way,” a thick and colorful compendium of all sorts of recipes, from appetizers to desserts, featuring ingredients readily available at Costco. She got it free when she signed up for a membership several years ago.

Tina tweaked the recipe just a tad, to add some spicy heat and cheesiness. Oh yeah…

1 ¼ cup uncooked pasta (Buitoni fresh linguini is our choice) or rice
½ package (16 oz.) SeaPak Shrimp Scampi
1 chopped zucchini
1 14 oz. can of quartered artichoke hearts, drained
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
½ tablespoon capers
Around 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Cook pasta or rice according to package directions

Heat a 12-inch skillet for one minute over medium-high heat

Add frozen shrimp and zucchini to the pan and sauté for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally

Stir in the artichoke, tomatoes, capers and lemon juice

Keep cooking it for 3 to 5 minutes – or until shrimp is fully cooked

Serve over pasta or rice. Serves four. Now I’m salivating.

Top with fresh parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper as desired

Serve with a Caesar Salad and you have a complete meal!
