Happy Monday to you all! I hope the summer is treating you very kindly!
I don't cook shrimp that often for two reasons. The first is because I'm the only one in my family who likes it, gosh! And the second is because for the longest time it has been intimidating to me. But in the last few months I've come to realize that it's really easy to make, especially when you use this recipe. The one thing I've learned about cooking shrimp is to be careful not to overcook it so that it doesn't come out rubbery. If you have any other shrimp-cooking tips, do share! I can't get enough, and my family will learn to like it by golly!

Yummy! i love shrimp as much as Forest Gump does:)
Delicious shrimp. Very easy to do. Probably one of the fastest seafood meals anyone can make. ;-)
Oh, you're making me hungry! This looks delicious.
Mmm... shrimp so good.
I usually barbecue shrimp, but this seems simple enough, and looks wonderful. Next time I'm in the mood for shrimp, I think I'll try this quick and easy method.
As for a shrimp-cooking tip, I've always been annoyed by restaurants that serve shrimp with the tails on. I find it kind of bothersome to have to remove the tails myself prior to eating. Well, of late I hear that the shrimp lose flavor if the tail is removed prior to cooking. (Can anyone confirm or deny this?) So my tip is to leave the tails on until the shrimp is cooked.
This definately looks quick and easy and super delish!!
You're the only one who likes shrimp???? I <3 shrimp. I could eat it every night. I love it just simply cooked- either boiled or in just a little olive oil with some seasoning. You're mix sounds fantastic
hubby loves shrimp..I'm sure he'll love this!
Your shrimp looks so great! I love the look of that whole meal. Very nice warm weather dish! ;0)
I don't really have any tips because I rarely make it either. I should.
Oooh...I bet the garlic adds a lot! Looks delicious! =)
I never get to cook shrimp since we have seafood allergies in the family, but I never thought of making it just for myself. It looks yummy!

I so enjoy shrimp and this sounds wonderfully delicious, light and bet i tastes good over some rice.

I love shrimp and this looks amazingly delish...
I'm a serious shrimp lover!! This looks delicious! You've got it right about overcooking them.
Looks great!
You can use the r-c-o method to determine when your shrimp are perfectly cooked:
When it looks like an "r" it is R-aw.
When it looks like a "c" it is C-ooked.
When it looks like an "o" it is O-vercooked!
Cute, no?
They look fantastic!
LOVE shrimp!! Is it really so unhealthy for you b/c of the high cholesterol? I've always wondered if that's true...Let's hope not.:)
I LOVE shrimp (I think you probably know that!). This looks delish!
