Garlic Butter Shrimp
Juicy shrimp in a light garlic-butter sauce with lemon and parsley. Keep the garlic pale and add lemon after turning off the heat.

A Korean-style birthday meal

Thin slices of beef, onion and carrot in a sweet-savory garlic soy marinade. A gentle pan-cooked Korean favorite for two, with clear cues for cooking in two batches.
