Gamberetti Con Aglio

The Jumbo Shrimp (the ultimate oxymoron) from  Lago Ristorante on Mill Street came with enough garlic to warrant separate rooms over the pasta. I will say this is one of the best tasting shrimp scampi’s I have had in a long time. The sauce was rich but not too rich, and generously filled with garlic as promised on the menu. However, the shrimp were the most impressive part. Five jumbo babies that were fresh as can be. Large – tender and sweet. It was all plated over my choice of pasta, so I went with penne and was not disappointed. It was perfectly al dante. Moreover, the buttery, garlicky, olive oil sauce was filled with small slightly sautéed grape tomatoes and was spectacular. I’d order this again in a heartbeat. -DD
