Ingredients
Marodi Šurlice: 200 g
Whole scampi: 800 g
Yellow onion: 200 g
Garlic: 3 cloves
White wine: 200 ml
Olive oil: 1 tbs
Canned tomatoes: 400 g
Fresh parsley: 20 g

Preparation instructions:
- Separate the scampi tails from the heads, but do not discard the heads, as they will be used later to prepare the stock.
- Carefully slit the tops of the tails to easily remove the meat and clean the scampi’s digestive tract. - It’s important that the meat remains clean for further preparation in the dish.
- Gently sauté the finely chopped onion in heated olive oil until it becomes soft and translucent.
- When the onion softens, add finely chopped garlic and fresh parsley, and sauté them briefly for just a minute, making sure the garlic does not burn.
- Pour in the white wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate slowly. Then add the canned tomatoes, which you can crush lightly with a wooden spoon, and if needed, add some scampi stock, which is simmering on another burner, to give the sauce extra depth of flavour.
- While the sauce is gently simmering, cook the šurlice in salted water according to the instructions on the package.
- When the šurlice are ready, drain them and set them aside.
- In the last few minutes of cooking the sauce, add the prepared scampi tails. - They only need 3-4 minutes to become perfectly tender and juicy.
- Serve the šurlice with the scampi sauce, garnished with fresh parsley.
