Super! Just like the garlic shrimp at the Portugese restaraunts we've been to in Newark, NJ. We also add hot sauce (Franks, Louisiana, etc.) A couple of shakes if the kids are eating, LOTS more for us! -
Oh my stars. This is the third recipe of yours that I have tried. My husband and I are in love with your recipes. This was just incredible. A great garlicy flavor. Easy beyond belief. Served this with fresh steamed broccoli and green salad. Made for a very pleasurable meal. Thanks. -
Yummy and easy. I toasted some Italian bread to sop up the juices with and it was delicious. Will definitely be making again. Thanks NurseDi -

This is kickazz shrimp. Very easy to make. Great garlic butter flavor. I served over hot noodles. Took very little effort and we had a 5-star meal. Thanks Nurse Di.

This is just about the only way my family will eat shrimp now that we've had it this way. Served with a rice pilaf and a green salad, it makes a quick yet flavorful meal. I'd recommend using extra virgin olive oil instead of the vegetable oil, however. The smoking point is higher and it brings out the garlic without a heavy, oily taste.

I must add my accolade! We used spicy garlic oil instead of regular cooking oil. This is a restaurant quality dish that can be made at home. My husband slurped the buttery garlic sauce out of his plate like soup. There wasn't even a molecule left of this dish when we were finished. We also cut some corners and bought the shrimp already cooked, peeled and deveined, it took 10-12 minutes tops to prepare.
