A easy quick recipe to prepare. Not to expensive, And taste really good!
I needed to add about a 1/2 cup of water (after all was said and done) while it was cooking as the sauce was getting way too thick. It’s ok. But not as good as what I’ve had in restaurants. But then, I’ve never claimed to be a great cook. Overall, knowing my cooking skills, not too bad
I did not make any changes to this recipe. I put it over rice. I wish I had added a little salt to my rice. either than that, it was good!!
Took too long to cook with frozen shrimp. Also excess water thinned out butter sauce. Still very tasty though.
Very easy and Quick! I used fresh garlic instead of powder and added parsley, dried cilantro and a squeeze of lemon. Served it with wild rice and broccoli. Delicious, I’ll make it again!
Made with flour instead of cornstarch and added Parmesan cheese at the end. The picky boyfriend loved it.
It turned out great! I used flour instead of cornstarch, and minced garlic instead of powdered. It was super easy to throw together and quick to make! I served it alongside rice and tilapia.
Got back into town from a work trip and didn’t feel like going to the grocery store; had all the ingredients and voila! An easy meal that tasted good and the kids scarfed. Next time I’ll probably use fresh garlic b/c that’s the way I am, and I did throw in some parsley.
Super easy and yum! Served over mashed cauliflower for a shrimp and grits kind of texture, while staying low carb. Added some Old Bay to half of the shrimp. Thanks for the great recipe.
