| Shrimp scampi pasta
Recipe as follows:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp (raw; 20 to 25 per lb)
4 large garlic cloves, left unpeeled and forced through a garlic press
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 lb fettucini
Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of salted water to a boil.
Meanwhile, 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, 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.
Cook pasta in boiling water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta in a colander. Toss pasta well with shrimp | | | |

| At Bahia Madero in Buenos Aires, my first meal of this quick trip. Dinner is fried provolone with EVO and fresh herbs ($4). Broccoli with cheese ($3.5). Two 8 oz filet mignon with mushroom/red wine sauce ($12.50). One bottle of Terrazas Malbec ($16)
Incredible meal!!!!! | | | |

CWG - it sounds pretty good but it's waaaayy out there.
Only 5 minutes from the airport. It took me 20 from the Hilton. It's worth it just for the atmosphere and the food is really good. | | | |

Throw all four bottles up in the air. The first one that doesn't break when it lands is the one to drink. | | | |
