From memory, but pretty close:

for a single servings:
12 24-36 shrimp

1 tsp butter
1 garlic clove minced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp white wine (didn't have any, used water. whats a good substitute
if you don't have this?)
dash red pepper flakes
s&p to taste
....seems there was something else but doesn't come to mind.

tsp parsley, tsp oregano, add after cooking.

nuke sauce ingredients for 1 min.
add shrimp, nuke for 1 min, or if not red nuke in 15 sec increments.

Not everything was fresh, and didn't use wine, but it still came out
halfway decent which I'm thinking will be even better next time.
