Very yummy!!! I served it with jasmine rice as I am sick of pasta at the moment. Thank you for sharing this Ginny...we loved it!!!

This was really delicious. The sauce made with the "norfolk" butter came out terrific. I actually used scallops, like you suggested in your intro., since those were on sale at the market. Thanks for sharing. My whole family loved it!

Very good! I prepared the Norfolk butter sauce while noodles cooked and microwaved it so sauce was thin. I poured that over shrimp and noodles; tossed to coat and served. A keeper, thank you!

My mother served our family this, oh so many years ago! Was always so good. I only remembered that she used a butter/garlic sauce. made it a couple of times, from memory. I recently had a bag (3/4#) of crawfish tails. Looked up the recipe, made a very slight mod, and it turned out great! I added a touch of garlic powder (small pinch,) to both halves, seemed to add just a little more! Thanks for the recipe!

We were given some really large shrimp this weekend and I decided on this recipe to cook them. I'm so glad I did. I had all of the herbs growing in my "earth boxes" and this was fun to make. Will definiely make this again. I served it with pasta, but will try yellow rice next time.
