Broiled Shrimp with Garlic Herb Butter Sauce

There is NOTHING wrong with Shrimp, Garlic, Herbs or Butter. Absolutely, positively nothing wrong with them. So this recipe is a winner before we even get started. In addition to be over the top delectable, it is fast and easy. Purists may say it is just another scampi recipe but I have been making and serving this long before I even knew a a scampi was! In fact, this was something special I used to make for my parents who just loved it. Dad passed away in 1989, so I guess I have made this for close to 30 years. I haven’t changed one ingredient over all those years and both Sparky and I give it 2 thumbs up! I always serve this dish with rice to soak up all the delicious juices. This time I made a wild rice mix with bits of broccoli. Sooooo good. And bright,crisp green beans really added a snap of color on the plate.

Ready? Time to build us some Shrimps!
