I use my microwave to hurry along the prep of this super fast shrimp scampi. It's deliciously buttery and full of garlic flavor. We love it as a main dish, but it makes an excellent appetizer, too. - Jalayne Luckett, Marion, Illinois

I added some Old Bay seasoning to the batter. It gave the shrimp a delicious Cajun flavor.

I didn't have any tartar sauce, so I served the shrimp with a side of ketchup. It was still good!

The batter was too thick. It didn't coat the shrimp properly.

I think I overcooked the shrimp. They were a bit tough.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp didn't turn out crispy.

I followed the recipe exactly and my shrimp turned out great! They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. I served them with a side of cocktail sauce and they were delicious.

These shrimp were a bit too salty for my taste, but they were still good.

These shrimp were cooked to perfection! The batter was so light and crispy, and the shrimp were cooked through without being overdone. I served them with a side of tartar sauce and lemon wedges, and they were a huge hit with my family.
