I really don't like shrimp myself. We were given shrimp some time ago and since my husband likes this dish I will make it. (We will see how much shrimp I eat.)

If you are like me and don't like shrimp try making it with chicken. Either use precooked chicken or put the raw cut chicken in the skillet to cook, to almost done, before mixing with garlic.

Let me know what you think of this dish!
