16 Reviews of Sauteed Shrimp

From: Ralph Tetta

On Feb 15, 2001

This recipe is great! It only took me 1/2 hour to prepare, it wasn't all that expensive, and my wife loved it! I prepared it for Valentine's day (our first together as husband and wife) and she was thrilled when she got home from work! The recipe is great because we're both watching our weight, so not being dependent on carbohydrates (rice, pasta, potatoes) was a good thing. I added mushrooms to the recipe, which enhanced the whole thing.

    Easy and quick. My husband made it, actually (he's a very good cook) and he doubled the sauce and tossed the dish with some cooked rotini. Made a good main course dish. Ran out of sherry so he used some dry white wine - worked just fine!

    So good! Very delicate flavors and quick to make. I used large frozen cooked shrimp and was very happy with the result. (I added a little garlic powder on the advice of one of the reviewers.) We served it with rice and vegetables. We'll be making this again.

    Very nice. I used an extra tsp lemon juice. Would work well with white wine instead of Sherry.

    This was really good! I don't have, neither do I like, green onions, so I pressed some garlic, and used that instead. Since I didn't have sherry, I used a white wine instead. I put the garlic, wine, lemon juice and parsley in with the butter while I was cooking the shrimp - the entire cook period. I think I sort of changed the recipe, but it was delicious, nonetheless. And isn't what this site is all about? I will be doing it again, either the way I did it tonight, or the way it is written - except for the green onion! Thank you, a fantastic, and simple recipe

    I made this recipe last night, and we really enjoyed it. It was quick and easy. I used large shrimp, added some minced garlic and white cooking wine instead of sherry, since that is what I had on hand. It was excellent, but next time I will use only 1 tsp of lemon juice. Thanks, Tonkats, for a great recipe!!

    Fabulous shrimp with just a few ingredients! The sherry makes it taste like LOBSTER (to me!). I made it to top our thin spaghetti with marinara (with basil) sauce. It's also great on top of French bread. It doesn't make a lot of sauce but it reheats great the next day (with some sauce left). Thanks Tonkcats for posting. Roxygirl

    To me this is just a basic starter recipe for the shrimp. It really needed more taste for our liking. It was too fishy tasting this plain. I had to add more salt, pepper, and green onion. I still felt it was lacking. Needed garlic in my opinion. Maybe some other seasoning.
