Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.
Take raw scampi, cut off the heads, and extract from the base of the tail the gut of the animal (otherwise this can give a bitter taste to your scampi).
It's a delicate operation, but the small video on right will show you the details.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 1 min.
Then fry 30 seconds on each side.
Stage 11
Leave to drain for a few seconds on absorbant paper to remove excess oil.
Stage 12
Then serve stright away, possibly with herb salad which will add a little delicious acidity.
Remarks
Herb salad could be replaced by other sorts, but to keep to the spirit of the recipe, please use something fresh and slightly acid. A small simple salad with a lemon French dressing, or a salad of tomatoes and avocados diced small.
