Easy Shrimp Scampi

Shrimp Scampi

1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/2 to 1 stick butter or margarine
Garlic Salt, to taste
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
Cajun or All-Purpose seasoning, to taste

Easy, fast, and cheap! That's my kind of dinner!

I put 1 lb of shrimp, but honestly I'm not sure. You want enough to serve 4.

To save time, I bought individually frozen shrimp. Mine was great: thaw by running under cold water for 5 minutes and you're ready to go. If buy by frozen shrimp, thaw according to directions on package.

Once shrimp is ready, melt butter/margarine in medium to large pan. I melt a whole stick because we like the seasoned butter over baked potatoes. Feel free to use more or less butter.

Add shrimp to pan. Add Worcestershire and seasonings. Cook on medium-low until shrimp is heated through. My shrimp only needed to cook about 3 minutes.

Serve with salad and bake potatoes for a complete seafood meal.

8 minutes and $8 for a seafood dinner? Love it!
