Time 20m

Yield 4 servings (part of four course meal)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Macadamia nut oil
8 scampi, shelled
Salt and pepper
15 nicoise olives, pitted, plus 6 more pitted olives, quartered
5 capers
4 bunches fresh basil

Steps:

  • Warm a little macadamia nut oil in a non-stick frying pan just enough to cover the bottom.
  • Salt and pepper the scampi. When the oil is heated, saute the scampi quickly and uniformly, 2 to 3 minutes will suffice, just to cook through and until they curl slightly and turn red. The scampi must remain crispy. Set aside.
  • Chop the olives finely with the capers and 3 leaves of the basil. Set aside.
  • In the center of the plate, arrange the olive mixture. Place 2 pieces of scampi, and several small pieces of nicoise olives on top, and garnish with a bouquet of fresh basil.
