    Got some frozen scrimps (yes that's the way I say it) on sale at BI-LO. Picked up some baby bellas, fresh aparagus, and onion. I want to to a garlic butter type seasoning and I don't know amounts of ingredients. I don't have clove garlic, just sat and powder. I've got real butter and olive oil, and some other shit, just don't want to over garlic it.
    Gonna be cooking all of it combined on a smal grill in a covered pan. How would y'all go about making it? I usually do stuff seperate. Thanks

    Go back to the store, buy a bulb of garlic. Or at least a jar of minced/chopped. Do NOT use the salt. Use real salt (kosher or sea), powder is okay for some stuff but never better than real for anything I do.

    You can't over garlic it, unless you're planning on sexy time later that day.

    Dave K DaveK über alles!

    Go get some garlic. Not garlic salt. Not garlic powder. Not I can't believe it's not garlic. A head of garlic.

    When you have that, post up and then we'll talk.

    Just found out we have a small jar of minced stuff. Sea salt too. So, put butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and whatever in a cup and melt, then drizzle all over errything before grilling? Reasonable?

    Sauté the veggies in the butter till they are almost how you want them (asparagus and onion will cook slower than mushrooms so maybe 5 mins gap before adding them). Add scrimps and garlic and cook till they are pink/white (not translucent/grey). Use black pepper or hot sauce to adjust flavor when finished.

    And put some lemon juice in at the very end, maybe a teaspoon full.
     
  12. No - make enough to soak the shrimp in a soupy mix. Drizzling is for people with incontinence issues.

    And add some hot peppers in the mix.

    Just put garlic and butter together, sprinkle the frimps with salt/pepper then brush on the garlic butter. Oh yeah, never buy salted butter again and since I'm sure that's what you have, go a little light on the salt over the frimps.

    That's what I was thinking until he said grill - so now I'm guessing the veggies are a side to the grilled frimps.

    Yes it's salted. Just curious...why unsalted? I honestly don't know.

    Because then YOU control the amount of salt in any dish you make. If you salt something and then use salted butter it puts way more sodium than you need into things.

    Trust me. If you're doing it all in one pan that's the way to go. And don't forget the hot sauce!

    Salted butter is dumb because you can add salt later. You want your butter to taste like butter!

    So you can add salt to control the flavor

    With salt s butter it's already half way to salty, if you use enough butter.:D
