Yes. I make it with just butter, cooking oil, garlic and shrimp. It's good. Over medium-high heat - Melt one and a half sticks of butter and 1/4 to 1/2 cup Crisco Oil. When the butter & oil are melted and bubbly - Add 5 cloves of garlic minced very small. Add the shrimp. Cook and stir until all of the shrimp turn pink. I use the 1/4 cup oil for one pound of shrimp.

If you absolutely must remove it, here is how to do it: Cook and shell the shrimp, peel a back strip down to the tail revealing the dark line, and use a small, sharp knife to remove the tract. If you want to enjoy shrimp and just cannot bear the tract nor want to go to the unnecessary trouble of removing it, then make -- or order -- shrimp tempura (shrimp covered in batter and deep fried). You can also prepare or order shrimp that has not been shelled. Cooking shrimp in a wok with lots of vegetables will take attention away from that black line. There are also a number of scrumptious shrimp dishes made with sauces, from Italian scampi to the classic Japanese shrimp sauce. Here is a wondeful recipe for a sauce that is easy and quick
