old cookbooks are awesome, because they have no concept of "light"

[schmerica]

It's a long shot, but I figure it's worth a try: do any of you marvelous people happen to own "The Cooking of Italy" cookbook from Time-Life's Foods of the World series, from back in the 60s? It looks like this:



And it has the best shrimp scampi recipe ever inside (mostly because it contains obscene amounts of butter and olive oil), which is comfort food for me because my grandmother used to make it all the time, and I am on my period and I am craving my garlic butter seafood rice mush. I can't find the recipe from googling, which is why I am coming to my friends list in my time of need.

(If you guys don't have any idea, I'll have to email my mother and make her find the cookbook at her house and type it up for me, and that will probably take days. Le sigh.)
