In my never-ending quest to make lowfat meals, I used fat-free half and half, and fake lobster chunks (made from fish). Otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It was delicious! I'm sure using the "real" ingredients would make it even more special, but this was pretty darn good in my fat-free version. I served it over rice. It was very filling. We will eat this one many times again! thanks for a great recipe!

We're seafood lovers, so as soon as I saw this recipe, I knew we would love it! DELICIOUS!! I cut it to 3 servings, using 1 small lobster. I kept the seafood warm in a 200° oven while I finished the cooking. This is VERY easy and it's just wonderful! I served it over rice, with a salad and dinner rolls. The sauce on this is YUM!! Thanks Barbara, this one is surberb!

Loved this recipe- very easy and a hit with hubby. I wasn’t sure what type of cream so I used fat free half and half. For the milk I used 2% lactose free milk. I used shrimp and surimi crab- that was in my budget. I served it over savory herb stuffing with a side of sockeye salmon and steamed veggies. I will try adding some finely diced shallots sautéed with the seafood next time.

What a wonderful way to use seafood; made this last weekend and loved every bite. Did use about 1/2 cup sherry instead of the 1/4 cup, liked the flavor better and used 2 pinches of cayenne pepper, just to give it a small kick. The recipe says is serves 6, however, with this much seafood, it would easily serve 8 and probably 10.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
