How to Make Snappy Shrimp

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped chives and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  3. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of dry sherry (optional). Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the shrimp.
  4. Cook for another minute, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately as an appetizer or a main course. Garnish with extra chives, if desired.
