We are going to have a quiet night at home this year. I have some
videos to watch, a bottle of champagne on ice and I picked up some nice
looking sea scallops and some huge tiger shrimps. I haven't yet decided
what to do with them. I will probably bake the shrimp with garlic
butter and pan sear the scallops.

My brother and his wife are coming for dinner tomorrow. I picked up a
nice prime rib roast so I will be making Yorkshire pudding and roasted
potatoes. I have some nice looking green beans, some Brussels sprouts
and carrots. I have to think about dessert.

Keep it simple and serve cheesecake? :-) There are few that don't like
it, Sara Lee really is tasty?

My husband is making the cole slaw and he is cooking the shrimp. He
uses a stick of melted butter, lots of fresh garlic, parsley and bread
crumbs, then the shrimp are broiled until they are done. I will cook
rice pilaf and Brussels sprouts. For dessert, he wants oatmeal cookies
with plenty of nuts and raisins. I will be making those.

I like these garlic baked shrimp, and they are incredibly simple. I used
very large Tiger shrimps. Heat the oven to 400 and stick the baking dish
in to heat up, then melt lots of butter in the hot pan and add lots of
crushed garlic and some parsley and salt. Butterfly the shrimp and lay
them int he pan and then cook for about 5 minutes. Take them out and
sprinkle on some lemon juice and grated lemon rind, then back into the
oven for another 3-5 minutes until done.

Your shrimp sounds similar to his, except he adds bread crumbs to his.
He also bakes the shrimp, and I thought he broiled it. They were good
last night, and he used lots of garlic.
