Shrimp & Crab Claw Scampi

Looking for a nice seafood dish? One that is easy to make but tastes like it took forever? If so, scampi is a good choice. I usually make it with just shrimp but I had some crab claws in the freezer so I threw those in as well.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. shelled, deveined shrimp, large
• 1 lb. dungeness crab claws
• 2 sticks of butter
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• Fresh lemon
• Tarragon
• Salt, Pepper
• Red Pepper Flakes
• White or Brown Rice, steamed

Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add garlic and saute until transparent. Crush a teaspoon of tarragon between your fingers and add slowly to the mix, add juice of half a lemon, a dash of salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and set aside.

 Place a single layer of shrimp and crab claws in the bottom of a shallow baking pan. Pour the butter mixture over top and 'stir' the seafood until liberally coated.

Place the pan under a pre-heated broiler for approx. 2-3 minutes. Stir, and place back under the broiler until shrimp is done. (about 5-7 minutes total)

Serve over rice with garlic bread.

Yum.
