Here's a very simple recipe from my favorite cookbook. I have not made
this, but everything else I have made from this cookbook has been
delicious.

Shrimp Scampi
=============
Jumbo shrimp are broiled in a dashing herb butter. A bed of freshly cooked
linguine makes a nice base for these tasty prawns.
1 to 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
6 tablespoons melted butter
2 pounds jumbo raw shrimp, peeled
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
generous pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 tablespoons snipped chives
1. Place the garlic in the melted butter and let sit for 30 minutes.
2. While the garlic is flavoring the butter, arrange the shrimp in a
large shallow baking dish.
3. Sprinkle the shrimp with the herbs and seasonings. Pour the garlic
butter over the prawns. Place under a hot broiler, 4 inches from the
heat source, for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
