Kathy Johnson of New Orleans, Louisiana, writes: Having lived in one of America's major food cities most of my life, I am no stranger to good eating. As much as my husband, Paul, and I love dining out, we particularly like making meals together at home. Some of our greatest hits have been the easiest and quickest dishes. It seems that the more I cook, the more I realize that big flavor comes not from the time spent in the kitchen, but from the quality of the ingredients. Look for oriental sesame oil in the Asian foods section of the supermarket. Pasta or crusty bread are good accompaniments. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, room temperature |
1/4 cup (packed) chopped fresh cilantro |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerv |
2 teaspoons oriental sesame oil |
24 uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined |
lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler. Mix first 6 ingredients in small bowl until well blended; season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush 13x9x2-inch metal pan with some of seasoned butter. Arrange shrimp in single layer in prepared pan; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Spread all of butter mixture over shrimp, dividing equally. Broil shrimp just until opaque in center, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to plates. Spoon butter from pan over shrimp. Serve with lime wedges.
