1/8 tsp. dry mustard
Dash of pepper

Thaw shrimp if frozen.

In a bowl Mix together vinegar, lemon juice, salt, mustard and pepper and set aside.

In a med. skillet, cook the shrimp, half of the onion slices and the garlic in hot oil over med.-high heat for 4 to 5 min., or just until shrimp are done, stirring occasionally. Remove onion and garlic with a slotted spoon and discard.
