Ingredients

1	pound	shrimp	fresh, jumbo sized
1/2	cup	butter	or margarine
2	tablespoons	lemon juice
2	tablespoons	parsley flakes	dried
1-2	each	garlic cloves	crushed
1/2	teaspoon	salt
1	x	paprika	optional

Directions

Under cold running water, remove the shells from the shrimp, leaving last tail section attached. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife make a shallow cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp and wash out the sand vein. If desired, the shrimp may be butterflied (cut lengthwise down the back of each shrimp, cutting almost completely through the shrimp, removing sand vein).

In a shallow, 2-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic baking dish place butter, lemon juice, parsley flakes, garlic to taste and salt. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 2 minutes. Add shrimp and stir to coat well. If desired, sprinkle with paprika. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 6 minutes. Stir shrimp occasionally. Cook just until shrimp are pink and tender. Do not overcook shrimp as they will become tough.

Serves 3 to 4 Variation: if desired, lobster, scallops, crabmeat or any combination of these may be substituted for shrimp.
