 When the holidays are here, you sometimes need a fast, easy dinner idea that is also a bit fancier than most. You know the story—guests are coming over, or you're having a holiday open house, and you have to have something extra-nice to serve.
Seafood is an easy choice, because it's so sophisticated. Shrimp scampi is one of the most sophisticated dishes ever, but this recipe is done in the microwave. That means you'll have a dinner ready faster than you thought possible—and it still tastes delicious!
