Shrimp in Parsley, Garlic and Scallion Sauce over White Rice

Here's my simple, flavorful riff on Mark Bittman's shrimp with green sauce...

In the food processor, I blitzed a large handful of parsley leaves and lots of garlic and a few chopped scallions (green and white parts).  Then I fed in a good glug of EVOO... continued to process... added salt and pepper and a few pinches of red pepper flakes.

I poured this over enough shrimp for two (12 for us), let it sit a bit, and then gently sautéed it until just barely pink all over (I know you know that overcooking shrimp is a cardinal sin).  Then I spooned this elegant, emerald sauce over very hot rice on very warm plates. 

Amazing. Simple.

Packs a huge wallop.

Really worth trying.

What're you waiting for???
