When my sisters, brothers and I went away to college in the 80s my mother gave us each a cookbook with all the recipes for the food we ate growing up. She recently asked if I had the recipes electronically, since I didn't I decided to start posting them for family to share. I have posted the recipes as she wrote them. Best thing she ever gave me, I use the cookbook to this day!

Scampi

1 lb medium sized shrimp
1 stick butter
juice of 1 lemon
1 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1 clove garlic, minced

Clean and shell the shrimp, leaving on the tails. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic. Toss the shrimp in this mixture to coat well. Furn into a broiler pan and broil 3 inches from the flame for about 5 minutes, or until pink and tender. Tomatoes broiled in the same pan with the shrimp are delicious.
