"This is my favorite shrimp recipe that my family makes, and I think it may have originally been from Rachael Ray. You can have it over noodles, over rice or as a side dish to a steak. I usually cook it in a pan, but you can also put it on skewers and grill it. It's just a really good way to have shrimp!"

Saute the garlic in the pan until it's a pale golden color, then add the shrimp.
Cook the shrimp until just pink, about 3 minutes. (Cooking time may be longer if not all the shrimp are in contact with the pan. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or it will be rubbery!).

I went ahead and doubled this recipe & also added baby scallops to it. I was out of lemons but used lime in place. Also I more than doubled the sauce, to mop up with crusty bread. Served it at our football party. The shrimp was liked by everyone! Thanks for sharing! :)

I love to bake. I have a pretty good collection of classic family recipes, but am always trying something new. During the day, I'm a graphic designer / photographer and part-time photography professor. I'm married to a guy that loves to cook too. We have three awesome kids, one with serious food allergies, so I've adapted many recipes to be gluten and nut free with great success.
