  • Professional chef Frank Proto and home cook Joe are swapping ingredients and hitting the kitchen to make shrimp scampi. We set Joe up with a whopping $349 worth of ingredients for his attempt at Frank's luxury recipe. Meanwhile, a modest $28 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way to be elevated into something gourmet by our esteemed pro. Will Joe be able to execute the restaurant-quality feast Frank intended to make? Can Frank turn Joe's simple ingredients into a grand seafood feast?

    Edited to add: those ramps were not harvested properly in order to ensure future growth. Always just pick one of the leaves out of the two, do not dig up the bulb. Ramps are becoming few and far between due to unsustainable harvesting by digging up the bulbs. Only clip off one of the two - three leaves per bulb

      @angela_apple Choose to believe what you want. When you know the dish is named specifically for the ingredient, and that ingredient costs over $100 for that dish, you can understand why Americans don't want to pay for authentic scampi. That's why they make scampi made with shrimp or 'shrimp scampi' as it is called.

    • @gagenater
      @gagenater 6 месяцев назад +3

      In italian it is doublespeak, but in most other languages, Scampi is method of preparation for a dish that usually uses seafood, not an ingredient. So you might (for example) make a scallop scampi or fish scampi instead. Langoustines (the item referred to in Italian as Scampi) are basically unobtainable outside of the European region, so everyone else has to do something else.
