Garlic Butter Shrimp Cook with Sprite.

It is one of those days that I have no real planned dish for lunch. When a vendor offered me his shrimp for a good price, I just decided to take it and make up my mind later what dish to do with it.

I am already familiar with shrimp on garlic butter sauce and since I got two children who are quite picky with foods, I decided to make a dish that they are already familiar with but added a little twist to make it more exciting.

I decided to marinade and cook it with Sprite soda this time. I also added chopped long green chili pepper (not too much), since I always like the contrast of spicy and sweet tastes. I used a lot more garlic today, that is just my personal preference for the day. I always use only 1 head of medium-sized garlic but I decided to use one and a half for today. I just have more cravings for brown toasted garlic and this has nothing to do with the overall taste of the dish. I just use what ingredients that are already available in our kitchen. So here is how it goes that day.

My available ingredients are:

• 3 tablespoonfuls of Margarine (butter is a better option)
• 1 to 2 lbs of washed clean shrimp.
• 1 and a half head of garlic
• 1 cup of Sprite soda
• one half long green chili pepper chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions:

• Marinate shrimp with Sprite for about 20 minutes

• Heat the pan and add margarine until it melts.
• Add the garlic and toast until light brown.

• Put in the shrimp with the Sprite marinade.
• Cook until shrimp turns orange.

• Add the chopped long green chili pepper.
• Season with black pepper and salt.
• Add parsley and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Serve while hot. Enjoy!
