I bought this crazy-old out-of-print cookbook put out by Bennigan's on Amazon, hoping there would be a recipe for their chicken fingers. There wasn't. So I made this recipe instead.

I eat anything that doesn't need a knife with chopsticks

Garlic Shrimp

Ingredients:

• 1lb peeled, deveined shrimp
• 1/4 c + 2 TBSP garlic lemon butter*
• 1lb linguini or 4 servings rice

Optional:

• 4 tsp bread crumbs
• 4 TBSP grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 tsp fresh minced parsley

Directions:

1) Cook pasta/rice, drain and set aside.

2) Melt 1/4 c. garlic lemon butter in a saute pan on medium-low heat.

3) Add shrimp and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning after 3 minutes.  They are done when opaque and pinkish in color. Do not overcook or they will be tough and chewy.

4) Microwave remaining butter in microwave with pasta/rice for 45 seconds. Mix then keep covered until ready to use.

5) Serve pasta/rice in a large bowl with shrimp poured on top.

6) If desired, sprinkle with optional ingredients to garnish.

*Garlic Lemon Butter

Cream 1 stick of softened butter with an electric mixer. Mix in 2 tsp. crushed garlic and 1.5 tsp lemon juice until smooth. Refrigerate until needed.
