Shrimp Scampi/Shrimp Tacos

Okay, one basic recipe done two different ways.

For shrimp scampi:
1 lb large shrimp
2 TBS butter, melted
2-4 large garlic cloves minced
juice of 1 large lemon
1 tsp seasoned salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup parsley

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. In medium baking dish, combine shrimp, butter, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until done. If you substitute smaller shrimp, check after 10 minutes.

2. Toss mixture with linguine.

Shrimp tacos:

1. For a taco variation, substitute cilantro for parsley and lime juice for lemon juice. Also add cumin to taste, about 1 tsp. Cook shrimp the same. Load up a tortilla with shrimp, cheese, cabbage, black beans, and salsa or whatever condiments you like.
