Tequila Lime Shrimp

I had some left over shrimp from Supper Club so I thought I'd do a search on Allrecipes.com to come up with something fast and easy to make with ingredients I already had on hand. This is the result of that search.

The shrimp had so much flavor and it was really tasty. The write-up in the recipe said that it is good over pasta. I ate it just as it was... since I didn't have any pasta on-hand.

Tequila Lime Shrimp

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, chopped
