This is a company-worthy dish. It's super easy to prepare, tastes great, and looks good, too. I made this exactly as directed, and the whole thing was done in about 20 minutes! I had doubts about using the sherry, but the flavors melded perfectly. I did add additional sherry to thin the sauce (it sets up and thickens very, very quickly). For those who don't like too-spicy dishes, just cut the amount of red pepper flakes and cajun seasoning in half - that should still give it zing without being too spicy. Can't wait to make this for company - as long as you have your ingredients measured out, it truly is a snap to put together, and looks & tastes as if you'd slaved. Great!
