This tasted great. I liked it because it was so simple but good. I used garlic from a jar and refrigerated for about 2 hours. I made linguini and poured it into the pan with the finished shrimp, mixed it around, sprinkled a bit of parmesan cheese on top and ate it just like that.

I first had this dish many, many moons ago at a little hole-in-the-wall Greek restaurant in Florida. So quick and simple, but absolutely divine! We usually add Parmesan if serving over pasta, but with just shrimp, I love a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Thanks for posting this one, Dreamgoddess. Hopefully, lots of people will get to enjoy this great recipe!

Gourmet meal 5 minutes!! I defrosted frozen shrimp, used minced garlic and added some salt to taste. Eating this by myself seems like a guilty pleasure! Tastes like I should be sharing this with some VIP guests.
