American Shrimp
Thanks to Terry Gartman for this recipe.


~ 1 lb American shrimp from Gulf region, peeled and de-veined
~ 1 bottle liquid crab boil
~ several sticks of butter
~ 2 - 3 cloves garlic, crushed, more if desired
~ salt to taste if needed

Place the shrimp in a bowl or baking dish.

Mix the crab boil in enough cool water to cover the shrimp and pour over shrimp.

Soak at least an hour. Longer is better.

Drain well.

Melt the butter in a large skillet or pan over very low heat. Add the garlic and stir together.

Continue heating over low heat so the garlic flavors the butter well. Important not to burn the butter.

Add the shrimp in batches and simmer until done. Stir often and be careful not to overcook!

Use some of the butter mixture as a dip if desired.

Serve and enjoy.
