This dish is a really good spicy variation on a traditional corn dip, both in terms of spice and warmth. It is the culmination of a number of modifications and is my version 7, so it is open to your imagination. Try out several types of corn, peppers, cheeses, etc. Serve with tortilla chips, either white or yellow. Wish you would like it.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic

- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the shrimp, garlic, and green onions.

- Stir the shrimp back into the sauce, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat through and serve.

Great flavor. My favorite of all that I’ve made. I omit the cayenne pepper.
Delicious! I used dried basil and chopped sweet onion because that’s what I had on hand. Also added more garlic. I like the spinach idea and will add that next time.
Yes I added a little spinach and parmesan cheese and put it over fettuccine noodles.
It was great I double the sauce added feta cheese and red pepper flakes would make it again great recipe
Love LOVE this quick and yummy delish dish! Husbands favorite meal to date!
This recipe never disappoints. So GOOD
This recipe is absolutely AMAZING!!! I made this for company and everyone loved loved loved it. The only change I made was I used shallots in place of the green onion because I prefer the taste of shallots. This is a WINNER!! I am going to make it with Chicken next time.
My family loves it. I put a can of Orle salsa in it insted of chopped tomatos and it gave it the kick it needed to send it to VERY HAPPY SHRIMPS. Its a very tasty dish !!
So easy, fast, delicious!! One of my favorites
More sauce .
This was wonderful. I added 4 mini sweet peppers, spaghetti (1) zucchini; and boiled a small amount of Fettuccini and half and half instead of heavy cream and mixed all together in the end. It was yummy, I will make this again.
This was a restaurant quality meal. I made it as written except for using frozen shrimp. It helped add a little more liquid to the sauce and made it the perfect amount. I cooked the frozen shrimp for 12 minutes over medium heat with the lid tilted slightly to allow steam to escape. I will be making this for years to come.
Absolutely delish
Super easy crowd pleaser! The flavors were light, pleasant, and actually not at all spicy. I followed the recipe exactly and don’t feel the need to change anything next time, although i’m sure you could play around with the veggies. I did serve this on top of angel hair pasta and it was a great addition. I used a Cantina Zaccagnini Pinot Grigio for this and it was an excellent wine for the dish (light for cooking, great for drinking the rest).
Absolutely delicious just as it is. We like a bit more sauce so we adjusted the butter, garlic, green onions, tomatoes, white wine and cream.
Great!
Fantastic, My fam loved it. Having it again.
This recipe is a good start. Not near enough sauce or thick enough. So, I added more fresh garlic, cream, butter and thickened it with some parmesan cheese. I also added quite a bit of cayenne to give is a little kick. Made mushroom raviolis and poured this over them. Soooooo goood!!!
My husband and I loved it!! No alterations.
Absolutely delicious and so easy! Made it for company and they loved it!
wonderful
