Frozen cooked shrimp has got to be one of the greatest inventions for the modern cook. I adore shrimp, but I absolutely hate to peel and devein. This quick recipe for Shrimp Scampi is easy enough for the weeknight madness, but elegant enough for a romantic dinner for two.
All you do is melt one whole stick of butter (yes, one) in a skillet. Chop up an onion and cook for about three minutes. Add some chopped parsley and about a tsp of minced garlic. I always get the refrigerated garlic that is already peeled and minced. Cook for just a few more minutes. Add the cooked shrimp that you have defrosted. Stir, and when everything is hot, serve over rice. Delicious!
You can also serve the shrimp over pasta. Or, just plate it up and pass as a fantastic appetizer. Spear with toothpicks.
