***HINTS***

~Be REALLY careful to not to burn the garlic. med-high seems to be too high. I remove the pan from the stove sometimes too.

~Shallots I buy in the jar like the minced garlic. use 1 TB when doubling

~Lemon Juice 3 tsp from bottle. Double use 6

~I DOUBLE THE BUTTER, OIL, BROTH & LEMON JUICE IN A NORMAL RECIPE. so if you are double the whole recipe you then do 4x the original amounts for those.

~Make sure to cut off tails of shrimp :)
