What would happen if you made shrimp scampi with red wine?

Has anyone done this ever?

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. It would taste unusual, but I bet it would still be deliciuos

Give it a try! it definitely won't end up inedible ro anything bad. I'm sure that, at worst, you'll say "Well, I won't do that again".

Nothing wrong with seafood and red wine.

3. It'll turn the shrimp pink

but hey, wtf.

4. I'd have to skip it

Certain Red Wines make my face flush out like a bad sunburn.

5. Only in extremis....

The red overpowers the delicacy of the shrimp..

6. I'd go white wine

Even though we rarely have it around the house. It might overpower the shrimp.

7. DONT DO IT

I am from the future. The world is truly a different place. All hell has broken lose. And its all because of some thoughtless asshole who decided to make a shrimp scampi using red wine.

Please, for the sake of humanity, don't do it!

13. LOL Well, it was going to be blamed on me anyway

8. It's impossible:

for one thing, red wine doesn't have a central nervous sustem, so even if you could make a scampi with it, there's be no way for all the critical systems to operate with any reliability.

14. LOL - THUMP - Slam-Dunk!

9. You'd be better off throwing the shrimp out and cooking a steak

Just don't do it!

10. Well, I don't know about you...

but I imagine I would vomit.

11. Here is a recipe...

1 c melted butter
1/2 tsp white pepper
salt to taste
2 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp and 1 tsp water
2 tbsp and 1 tsp red wine
40 large shrimp (peeled)
4 tsp flour
2 tsp chopped chives (optional)

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together butter, white pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Set aside. In another bowl, mix water and wine; set aside. Place shrimp in shallow baking dish, sprinkle with flour and chives (optional). Pour butter mixture evenly on top of shrimp. Place baking dish in heated oven 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven, pour wine mixture evenly on top of shrimp. Return to oven and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink. Remove from oven and serve immediately over pasta.

Sometimes I use a mix of Sherry and red wine-omitting the water, but both are awesome. My husband loves it even better than when I make it with white wine. I found this on a search of the internet, one night after the shrimp had thawed and before I realized I was out of white wine. :)
