Bravo Geoff -- glad you pointed it out before I did... its kind of like "chicken fried steak" -- scampi is not a sauce, its a species lol.... speaking of steak, i had a great beef rib steak... having eaten mostly pasta, vegetables and seafood until recently, every type of meat is new and interesting to me, so i am going thru all the different types/cuts of meat... so I did it up on the grill... roasted potatoes with rosemary & thyme... and for some reason, nothing accompanies a good steak like a good martini, more so over wine or beer... I had equal parts of gin and Stoli Limon shaken hard over ice... this removed the need for vermouth or the lemon rind... yum!
