Borderline 4-5 stars. Delicious recipe that is great for weeknights because it's so easy to put together. I followed the recipe exactly, and it came together quickly and easily (I had everything in bowls or ramekins ready to go). I'm still waffling about this being 4-star as opposed to 5-star...but I think I'll go with four only because there was no mention of salt and pepper, and it was a bit difficult to get the flour to incorporate into the sauce. I think I'll salt and pepper the veggies and shrimp, and also dissolve the flour into a bit more vermouth the next time I make this - and I will definitely be making this again. The nutmeg and clove added a special something that really made this dish stand out - nice, nice recipe pgserver6 - give your friend Joanna a "high four" from us!

Wonderful dish! I used two cloves of garlic and my chinese garlic chives I have growing on the window sill (we LOVE garlic). I also loved the addition of nutmeg to this dish. This is a keeper and I can't wait to make it again. Thanks so much, pgserver6, for sharing this. It's a winner.

I've never made anything quite like this, and I really enjoyed it! The hardest part of this dish for me was chopping the veggies and peeling and deveining the shrimp...if that says anything for the ease of the dish! I did make a couple changes: I left out the chives and parsley, and green pepper, due to DH's health, left out cloves because I could not find mine (oops!), and I used cooking sherry instead of brandy and vermouth (I could not find vermouth anywhere!). It still was very tasty! I think I would definitely use less butter next time, or use olive oil instead, as it seemed very buttery...but I think that's the only thing. Thanks for adding variety to our menu!
