Ingredients:

1 pound Cooked Shrimp - Defrosted

3 ounces Butter

2 teaspoons garlic -- chopped - to taste

2 handfuls Pork Rinds

How to Prepare:

Whiz the pork rinds in a food processor until the consistency of breadcrumbs. Set aside. Remove the tail shells from the shrimp. Set aside. Place the butter and garlic in a pan suitable for frying/baking and saute the garlic until its starts turning clear - be careful not to burn it or it will taste bitter. Add the shrimp and saute on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Top the shrimp with the crushed pork rinds. Place the pan under the broiler for 3 or 4 minutes or until the pork rinds get crisp and brown(er). Very rich and very filling. Pork rinds actually add to the flavor instead of overpowering it. Great for a quick mid-week supper.
