Scampi alla busara

Ingredients for 4 people:

  • 300 g tomato purée
  • 3–4 tsp parsley and garlic sauce
  • 1.5 dl white wine
  • spicy paprika
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp finely chopped vegetables
  • for stock
  • 0.5 dl good olive oil
  • 1 kg scampi

How to prepare

Clean the scampi thoroughly under running cold water. Using a sharp knife, cut the scampi along the back or the front so that it will be easier to open them once they’re cooked. Pour olive oil into a wide saucepan and add parsley and garlic sauce. Sauté, then add scampi, wine and lemon juice. Add a teaspoon of finely chopped vegetables for stock and cook until the wine evaporates. Add tomato purée and paprika, cover with a lid and cook on moderate heat for another 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with pasta or rice.
