That means that we Catholics get the day off from our usual sacrificial Friday custom of meatless meals. [Canon 1251 states](http://www.catholic.net/index.php?option=dedestaca&id=125), > "Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the episcopal conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, unless a solemnity should fall on a Friday." [![shrimp scampi](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/shrimp-scampi1-550x366.jpg?width=270&height=179&name=shrimp-scampi1-550x366.jpg)](http://catholicmom.com/?attachment_id=51462) Should you choose to celebrate this very special feast with a seafood entrée that’s a treat to eat, here’s an easy recipe for Shrimp Scampi that tastes like you fussed over it! ### Shrimp Scampi with Linguine Makes 4 servings **Ingredients:** - 1/4 cup olive oil - 1 lb peeled and deveined medium or large shrimp (raw, tails on) - 2 heaping tbl minced garlic - 1/8 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes - 1/2 cup dry white wine - 2 TBL lemon juice - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 5 tablespoons butter - ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley - cooked linguine for 4 **Instructions:** Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shrimp, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Add garlic to oil remaining in skillet along with red pepper flakes, wine, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add butter to skillet, stirring until melted, and stir in shrimp. Remove skillet from heat. Toss with cooked pasta, garnish with parsley and serve. [![Asiago Cheese Bread](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Asiago-Cheese-Bread-533x400.jpg?width=261&height=196&name=Asiago-Cheese-Bread-533x400.jpg)](http://catholicmom.com/?attachment_id=51460) **It’s easy to have homemade bread with your meal!** This Asiago Cheese Bread is a beautiful addition to your dinner, and if you have any leftovers, it makes a great breakfast toast as well! ### Asiago Cheese Bread **Ingredients:** - 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups bread flour - 1 envelope active dry yeast (1 scant tablespoon) - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper - 1 1/4 cups milk - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut up - 1 1/4 cups Asiago cheese, divided - 1 large egg **Instructions:** Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Use the dough cycle. Coat an 8-by-2-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Punch down dough. Form dough into a 6-inch round. Place in prepared cake pan. Cover with towel. Let rise in a warm place away from drafts, about 45 minutes or until doubled in volume. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Brush top of dough with beaten egg—a little bit at a time. Sprinkle top with the remaining 1/4 cup of the cheese. Bake for 35 minutes or until the crust is golden and bread sounds hollow when tapped with fingertips. Transfer the bread to a wire rack. Let cool. Make sure you have plenty of space between oven racks when you bake this. It's a high-rising bread! I couldn't believe the volume of this loaf, yet it's very light and soft. I made the dough for this bread in the bread machine on the dough cycle. (And don't dump the entire beaten egg over the risen bread. I had a BIG mess on my hands when I did that--it just slid right off the top and onto the stove. Just brush the top of the bread with a little bit of egg at a time.) *Copyright 2013 Barb Szyszkiewicz* ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F11%2F01%2Fmeatless-friday-feast-on-shrimp-scampi%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F11%2F01%2Fmeatless-friday-feast-on-shrimp-scampi%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F11%2F01%2Fmeatless-friday-feast-on-shrimp-scampi%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Meatless%20Friday%3A%20Feast%20on%20Shrimp%20Scampi) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F11%2F01%2Fmeatless-friday-feast-on-shrimp-scampi%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F11%2F01%2Fmeatless-friday-feast-on-shrimp-scampi%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Barb Szyszkiewicz](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/BSzyszkiewicz%202022.jpg) ### [Barb Szyszkiewicz](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/barb-szyszkiewicz-ofs) Barb Szyszkiewicz, senior editor at [CatholicMom.com](http://catholicmom.com), is a wife, mom of 3 young adults, and a Secular Franciscan.
