Wow-this was awesome! I made this for dinner tonight and we loved it, I didn't have all the ingredients so I subbed a few things and it was still yummo. I used a cup of white wine in place of tomato sauce and just added a few tbl spoons of tomato paste-I didn't have any chili peppers so I used red pepper flakes and some hot sauce plus I used the hot Rotel. I added a few tbls of sour cream to thicken my sauce and we served it over angel hair pasta-mmm, mmm good. My hubby couldn't get enough and is already asking me to make this for a dinner party for his co-workers :) It's a keeper! Thanks for sharing

DH never says 4 stars, but this one? "Oh, 4 stars, easy. So good" And it was!!! A little labor intensive what with all the shrimp peeling- but simple to make after that. It was really delicious, and smelled fantastic when cooking. I only used 2 peppers, and that was spicy enough for us. Really perfect- no other changes needed. Served over brown rice. Keeper Keeper!

I am conservative with giving 5 stars, but This certainly deserves it. The only thing I would do differently is cut back on the jalepenos; I thought that the rotel added enough heat for my tastes. It might be helpful to amend the directions to reflect that the (I assume) shrimp should be cooked at a very low temperature so they don't get way overdone.
