Split-Second Shrimp
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 10 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.
I use my microwave to hurry along the prep of this super fast shrimp scampi. It’s deliciously buttery and full of garlic flavor. We love it as a main dish, but it makes an excellent appetizer, too. — Jalayne Luckett, Marion, Illinois
