Shrimp Sauté

View Recipe: Saucy Shrimp Sauté on Toast

Check around for the best price on shrimp: Sometimes, it’s at the seafood counter; other times, it’s in the freezer case. The garlic that’s rubbed on the toast at the end lends lots of punch; for sensitive taste buds, skip that step.

Cost for 4: $11.11
Total Time: 21 minutes
