    WONDERFUL! This is a keeper. I didn't have fresh parsley so I added 2 TBSP dried at the last minute of cooking with the salt and pepper.

    This was a great recipe. It was a big hit the only thing I did diffrently was as it was cooking I noticed that the sauce was a little thinner than I wanted it so I took some of the sauce in a seperate bowl and added some corn starch to thicken it and mixed it well with the remaining sauce. When it was done I topped it with parmasean cheese. Wonderful Thanks for sharing this.

    NurseDi, this dish is wonderful. Really restaurant quality. Ok, here is what I did cooking for 2 who are trying to lower the carbs. I used 3/4 lb. white shrimp (med. lg.). I only had 4 large garlic cloves, so I used them all. I used dry white wine. I served the well flavored, beautifully pink shrimp on a bed of sautéd fresh spinach. You can guess that the visual appeal of the pink and green combination was fabulous. The shrimp was fabulous. You are fabulous for sharing this wonderful recipe. Thank you!!!
