Two Shrimp Dishes

I made two shrimp dishes tonight. They were both quick and easy, so I decided to make enough stuff to have left overs for a few days.
Here are the two dished I made with links to the recipes:

* [Shrimp Scampi](http://www.foodnetwork.com/tylers-ultimate/ultimate-shrimp-scampi/index.html)
* [Teamed Shrimp with Lager, Lemon and Thyme](http://www.tylerflorence.com/blog/?p=300)

Here are pictures of the finished meals:

I didn't include the Linguini, for obvious reasons, but the shrimp was so good by itself that I didn't even miss it.

The market didn't have any head on shrimp that looked good, so I got some without the head, but with the shells. The recipe called for a teaspoon of sugar. You can leave that out if you want, but it helps to bring out the flavors in the other ingredients, and the stock gets dumped anyway.

I had a glass of [2007 Pretty Sally Sauvignon Blanc Estate](http://blog.michaelmurry.org/2009/08/16/2007-pretty-sally-sauvignon-blanc-estate/) that went perfect with the shrimp.
