Editor's Recipe: Garlic Shrimp

I've never made garlic shrimp before but we love garlic on just about everything else and I was just thinking it would be great on shrimp too, does anyone cook shrimp this way? I'm thinking fresh minced garlic just smothered all over the shrimp, with maybe a combination of butter and olive oil cooked over medium heat? Served with a fresh salad and warm bread, YUM!!!

"Hope your "new" bird family is ok. Do you know you can coat the pole of a bird feeder with petroleum jelly and the squirrels cannot get to the food? (They slide down we do love all God's creatures.)

I brown hamburger meat & keep some in my freezer for those "busy" days. One of our fav recipes is to use a baking dish & put the browned hamburger meat in the bottom, open & drain off the juice of string beans & put on top of the meat, slice some white potatoes & spread on top, open a can of cream of chicken soup & spread on top then season & cover. Cooks in 20 minutes in the microwave or one hour in the oven at 350. Enjoy :o)"

Thank you Frances! Our birds have left the little bird house and are hopefully safe off in place away from squirrels now! I miss seeing them fly in and out of their house every day but am glad that they were able to be with us for a while. They were so precious. How can spring come and go SO FAST?!!!
