Spicy, delicious, and decadent! DH and I had this for dinner last night and halved the recipe for just the two of us with great results. We used a combination of wild mushrooms (oyster, shiitake, cremini), which were very tasty in the dish. The garlic and green onion proportions were perfect. I might even scale back on the cayenne next time (did I just say that???). I like my dishes pretty spicy and I found this to be a little hot. I know from experience, however, that I will never be disappointed by bland food in one of your recipes, cookiedog! Thanks for the great recipe. We will be making this again! Made for ZWT4.

Spicy and delicious. I had to leave out the mushrooms bc dh hates them. They would have been lovely in this dish. Love the heat and the garlic here. Perfect amounts! Thanks for a great recipe! Made for ZWT 4 Italy

I halved this recipe, which worked fine. I also left out the salt (personal taste) and fresh parsley (the supermarket was out of it) and added a bit of grated lemon zest. Don't worry about the amount of garlic, it's not overwhelming at all. This dish was not only very easy and quick to make (once the shrimp are deveined), but it's absolutely delicious. Very rich, though, not something I'd make on a regular basis with so much cream, but it would be great for company.
