My son is coming for dinner tonight, although he's a fussy eater, this is one of his favourites, so he's chosen it. I sometimes add a sliced chilli to this too.

utterly decadent and wonderful! picked up some cheap scallops and farmed prawns yesterday, had a few left, used this recipe to top a porterhouse steak. I added a teaspoon of Chrissyo's chilli sauce. Couldnt have bread, (damn doctors)and I only used about 2 tablespoons of cream. I cant recomend this for "company" as then you wouldnt be able to slurp the extra sauce straight from the plate!!!!

    My super picky daughter had two helpings! Definitely makes it 5 stars! Made as directed but didn't have green onions--still delicious. Squeezed a slice of lemon over the top before serving. Very creamy and scampi-like.

    Absolutely yummy! My husband gives this dish two thumbs up. I had to cook the sauce a little longer than indicated in order to reduce it but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great. Thanks for sharing, Jan!

    Excellent!! This dish is very full of flavor & I loved that it is so easy to prepare. It made a terrific dinner on a busy night. I served the shrimp on birds nest pasta with steamed broccoli & french bread. I will make this again!!
