I used the recipe for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Scampi-Fra-Diavolo-350401\">Scampi Fra Diavolo<\/a> from the Thanksgiving issue of Bon Appetit. It&#8217;s a super easy recipe, and if you&#8217;re me, it works just fine if you replace the panko with matzoh meal and the olive oil with butter. What they don&#8217;t tell you is that you actually need twice as much garlic &#8211; don&#8217;t hesitate to double it.<\/p>\n<p>When we were done eating the kitchen table was a good mess, covered in sticky paper towels, drips of sauce and a bowl of shrimp shells. All was as it should be. I&#8217;ll absolutely make this stuff again &#8211; with twice the garlic &#8211; and while it&#8217;s not the same as sitting on a picnic bench watching surfers and slurping milkshakes, it&#8217;s not a bad substitute.<\/p>\n<p>Eat your fish, it restocks your aloha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last weekend we were talking with a Hawaiian friend from Honolulu who revealed to use this shocking fact: He had never visited the shrimp trucks on the road to Oahu&#8217;s north shore.\u00c2\u00a0 &#8220;How could this BE?!&#8221; we cried, while remembering the sound advice of &#8220;Peel, Suck, and Eat&#8221; as provided by that big yellow truck, &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Fish Wednesday, Scampi Style\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/10\/fish-wednesday-scampi-style\/#more-988\" aria-label=\"Read more about Fish Wednesday, Scampi Style\"><br \/>&#8230;read more.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[67,269,267,39,266,268],"class_list":["post-988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fish-wednesday","tag-cooking","tag-oahu","tag-scampi","tag-seafood","tag-shrimp","tag-shrimp-trucks","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=988"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1023,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/988\/revisions\/1023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
