Shrimp Scampi and Gemelli Pasta
Jun 14, 2021 18:50:08 #
Shrimp Scampi over Gemelli (Barilla brand). I started out making a roux, butter and flour, letting it cook for about 45 minutes over medium heat. Then I seasoned it with salt and pepper, basil, and fresh garlic, and added about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of white wine. I let this cook down for about another 20-30 minutes. As I was cooking my pasta, I added some of the pasta water to thin out the sauce a bit, but not too much... I prefer a thicker scampi sauce, not thin and watery. Once the sauce was to my liking in taste and consistency, I added my shrimps which I had started in another pan and finished them off in the sauce.
I shot this handheld with available light, no flash.

Yeah, flash usually NOT a good Idea with food shots (unless bounced to mimic window light). I'm betting this tasted awesome!

I'm a newbie when it comes to food photography. I made the recipe again a few days later, and took some shots using one light, constant on. I should have posted them both in this post.
And yes, it did taste awesome, hence the reason for making it again.
