Ingredients

    1 T canola oil
    3/4 Lb uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
    1 med green onion, diced
    1/4 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp basil

Remove from heat; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serving size=1/4 of shrimp. To make dividing it up easier, spread out the shrimp and divide the pan into quarters, each quarter is a serving.

Tip: remember C & O...when the shrimp are shaped like a "C" they are cooked, when they look like an "O" they're overcooked.

    Thanks for the C & O tip. I grew up near the ocean and love seafood, but never knew that tip. I hate overcooked fish. Thanks again! - 2/23/10

    Only thing I change was I sprinkled some Tony Chacherie's Cajun Seasoning on the shrimp before mixing everything else in! Yummy! - 5/30/13
