This was just fabulous! I just love all the garlic and herbs. Didn`t do the salt and didn`t need it. I cut this recipe in half. The herbs I used were all fresh and the thai chili peppers came right out of the garden.I cooked the shrimp all at one time. And didn`t bother with straining all the good stuff. This is a MUST for all you shrimp and garlic lovers!

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
