Shrimp? In the microwave? Anything’s possible. This classic New Orleans dish cooks shrimp to juicy perfection in Worcestershire sauce, butter, garlic, and lemon juice. Cajun or Creole seasoning gives the dish a smoky, skillet-cooked flavor. It’s a meal that, as they say in New Orleans, lets the good times roll!
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
