"This shrimp dish has a great and powerful garlic flavor. It's perfect with pasta or with rice. You can even add juice from a lemon for that extra zing!" — DesiLuGirl

I'm torn w/how to rate this recipe. As written, it would be inedible, due to extreme saltiness. I used about 1/2 lb of shrimp, and adjusted the salt/powder to 1 TBSP each, knowing it was still going to be too much, and it was. I cannot imagine this as written. That being said, assuming a typo and that it should be TEASPOONS, not TABLEspoons, this is excellent! I served it over pasta and it truly would have been inedible (because of the salt) had I not. If these were typos and the recipe is edited, I'll happily adjust my rating.
