Potluck
There are at least seven hundred and fifty thousand garlic shrimp recipes
available to us. And each recipe has
slight variations. This one like all the others is a very simple and easy dish to
prepare for anyone who loves shrimp. It takes no more than 15 minutes to prepare
you can serve with potatoes, rice or toss with some pasta.
My sister once adored shrimp, grilled, scampi, fried, you name it. Her
favorite dish at red lobster was that shrimp trio. All of a sudden she can’t
east shrimp. And when I say she can’t eat shrimp, I mean it makes her gag to
the point that she can’t even swallow it. We have tried several different cooking
methods over the past two years and the more time progresses, the more she can’t
tolerate it. It’s like she is developing intolerance for shrimp the older she
gets. For me that spells tragedy, because I really love shrimp, and now I have
to be cautious of cooking it as the only protein at dinners, because then she
would have nothing to eat. She still eats and loves lobster with a passion. She
better hope lobster is not next.
As delicious as this dish was she will never know. I used a whole lot
of garlic and parsley. In my opinion if you use less than 8-10 garlic cloves
you can’t really call it garlic shrimp. So don’t be afraid, it’s not as harsh
as you think it might be because the garlic cooks down slightly with the
shrimp. The butter, white wine, and lime juice all make for a really perfect
marriage.
