Halibut cheek Scampi




Ingredients:
approx. 1 pound Halibut cheeks
1/3 cup clarified butter
4 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh if possible
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:Rinse cheeks and set aside. Heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. Cook garlic and shallot 1 or 2 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add cheeks, wine and lemon juice; cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Do not overcook. Add chopped parsley and salt and pepper before serving. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs if desired.

This dish is great as an appetizer with garlic ciabatta bread, or as a meal served over pasta.
