Mom's Microwave Shrimp Scampi

1 lb. shrimp (peeled)

1 lb fresh mushroom sliced

3 T. butter

3 cloves garlic chopped

Juice of one lemon

2 T. cornstarch

1/4 cup white wine

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp ground pepper

3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Melt butter in microwave. Add mushrooms and garlic, cook on high for 3 minutes. Add shrimp trying to keep larger ends to the outside of the dish. Cook 3 more minutes. Add wine and cornstarch. Cook until shrimp are all pink about 3 more minutes. Add parsley, salt, pepper. Stir. Serve over noodles or rice. Cooking times will vary by microwaves, but do not overcook. Test one of the shrimp when they turn pink to make sure they are firm, but overcooking will make them rubbery.

I use the Uncle Ben's 90 second pouches. This is good over the brown/wild rice mix. Noodles work too but we prefer brown rice!
