Simple Shrimp Scampi


This takes about 5min...All you do is saute 2 cloves of garlic in olive oil.  Add ~1 pound of shrimp (I used frozen, cooked and cleaned shrimp from TJ's) and stir to coat the shrimp with the oil and heat them through.  If you are using raw shrimp, then you will need to cook them for about 7min or until they turn pink.  Turn off the heat and add ~2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, and ~1 tablespoon on fresh lemon juice.  Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste.  Stir and serve.  I served it over brown rice but it would be nice with pasta as well.  So easy, so fast and SO yummy!
