Mmm...sounds yummy!!

Okay, so I had planned on making Zatarain's' Dirty Rice {at least that's what I think as I never quite got to it...} with grilled shrimp in butter and garlic sauce. I was even going to make a salad.

Then I read that you should not defrost shrimp in hot water or the microwave or it makes it tough. Okay, 'nuff said'.

Lolita's it was. Hubster and I shared both a carne asada fry and carnitas plate.

And I had spoken so highly of the importance of eating at home to my son as we drove home from school. *sigh*

Shrimp is now defrosting until tomorrow night. Any tips on how to prepare it?
I THINK I will put butter in a pan, stick the shrimp in it, and cook it up. Am I supposed to cover/steam it? Will I kill my family if the shrimp isn't fully cooked? I have those fears.....

I hate to cook burgers. Does anyone here use those temperature gauges when they cook them?
