Fiddlehead Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients

1 water

1/2 lbs. Unknown (0)

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp. butter

1 pinch red pepper flakes

2 garlic

2 tsp. lemon zest

1/2 lbs. shrimp

1/4 c. white wine

1 lemon

1/2 lbs. spelt spaghetti

1 tbsp. fresh parsley

Directions

Cook the fiddleheads in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and set aside.

In a pan, heat the oil and melt the butter. Add the red pepper flakes, wild leeks, and preserved lemon peel and saute until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Add the cooked fiddleheads and the shrimp, and saute until the fiddleheads are bright green and the shrimp is cooked, about 1 to 3 minutes per side, and set aside.

Add the wine (if using) and the lemon zest and juice, and deglaze the pan. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half (about 3 to 5 minutes).

Add the fiddlehead and shrimp mixture, the spelt linguini, and the parsley (if using). Toss to coat.
