Shrimp Scampi Riviera

This very special recipe is in memory of Aldo who was the owner of La Toque Blanch in NYC and Le Monagesgue in Lake Worth Florida. Aldo also worked as Maitre d’ for the Prince and Princess of Monaco.

24 fresh large shrimp peeled and deveined, tail on

6 tbsp seasoned tomato sauce

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp dry white wine

1 tsp fresh lemon juice 

2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Place the shrimp in a baking dish.

Whisk all the ingredients together and spoon over the shrimp.

Serve from dish or portion and spoon sauce over shrimp.

In the photo I slightly altered the recipe for a New Years appetizer.

I cut 12 slices of bacon in half, resulting in 24 bacon strips which I cooked half way through, then wrapped the bacon around the shrimp and fastened with a toothpick.
