Light, lemony, and garlicky, this classic shrimp scampi pulls double duty as both an easy weeknight meal or dinner party-worthy centerpiece. Tender shrimp is sauteed in a simple sauce of white wine, butter, and garlic, with red pepper flakes and cayenne for an extra kick. Serve alone, atop al dente pasta, or with crusty bread.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.
