Scampi&chips

[ditchman]

no-doubt i will be recieving some complaints about this ...as is the norm now..."oh let us slagoff ditchy ,,he's an idiot"

[TIGHTCHOKE]

I see nothing wrong with that and it has reminded me to get some chips and use up some of my scampi.

[JKD]

Definitely nothing wrong with that 👌 except for me,,,,, omit the 'green stuff' ! 😆😂

Looks grand that.

I love scampi.

In my opinion, you have past 'THE' most important test for anyone who cooks scampi. You have more than 10 pieces on the plate, nothing more disappointing than seven or eight pieces. 👍

Whats the stuff on the mushy peas? Looks like balsamic glaze?

My favourite pub grub is scampi, chips and mushy peas. 
We have no microwave, deep fat fryer nor air fryer, so if it’s pub grub then the above it is. 👍

I would bet that it is mint sauce.

I used to buy the tails years ago, but they were already cooked and got opened and eaten as they were.

I have never tried mint sauce with scampi. 

I think I will stick to tartare.

Never making it to the batter then. I do the same when I make prawn cocktail, most the prawns don't make it to the dish.

It is meant to go with the mushy peas.

Overall you got a very good feedback and rightly so as most of us would eat just about everything on the plate , some of the cheaper Scampi is like eating lumps of batter and virtually tasteless  , I have had the so called better ones like Youngers and M + S and eating it now and again is enough for me , no doubt a lot of it is the cooking of it rather the contents in the bag .     MM

What’s on the peas? Mint or balsamic? 
 

I would eat it  good work Ditchy!!

Bread ,butter, touch of salt, you don't need anything else.

And talking of bread and butter, a thick slice would go great with @ditchman meal.

Now there is something I have not had in years, my father was a Geordie and he used to make it occasionally when we were nippers. No mint sauce, and like Welsh says, just on thick bread with salt and pepper.

Brings back some good memories.
