Almond Shrimp With Amaretto Butter
A fabulous, romantic dish for two - and it's quick and easy! I adapted the recipe from a junior league of lafayette, la recipe; they say that it is the creation of sous chef bryan richard of chez marcelle. The original recipe calls for an entire stick of butter, but i think you'll agree that 3 tbsp. Is plenty. If you like amaretto, you'll love this! It can be served with angel hair pasta, but i like to eat it without so as not to interfere with the delicious flavors.
