Do you like Red Lobster's Shrimp Scampi?
I'll bet you thought it took them an hour to prepare because that's how long
they made you wait. Not so. Easy to prepare and then you just pop it
into the ol' microwave. That's right, you just nuke it for a couple of
minutes and it will delight your pallet. I found this recipe in a magazine
while I was traveling somewhere but I don't remember exactly where. I have
to classify this as Super easy to prepare.
