Super delicious...we added homemade garlic croutons to ours and it was truly scrumptious! Thanks for a great recipe!

Mmmm! Thanks for the new favorite seafood recipe! Even my 3 year old loves it! I made it with seafood muffins (thyme in the muffin batter, top with sour cream, cheddar, and diced shrimp, bake!)
