Creamy Garlic Shrimp

JustJanS's Note:

My son is coming for dinner tonight, although he's a fussy eater, this is one of his favourites, so he's chosen it. I sometimes add a sliced chilli to this too.

O'kay scaled this back as 2 serves to serve over a small porterhouse/sirloin steak and well the prawns/shrimp became the star of the show (I served 5 over the steak and the other 3 were to the side of plate) but I devoured the prawns/shrimp and had about a mouthful of the steak. For the prawns though our times were definately different (could be because of sized medium Mandurah [local area] prawns) but sauted off the garlic for the 2 minutes but the prawns only needed less than a minute, poured in the wine and it almost instantly reduced 30 seconds and the added cream and stock and simmer for about 5 minutes and OMG it was so delicious and we just salivated through every bite. Thank you Jan, made for Make My Recipe - Editin 14.

Very good shrimp dish but I did doctor it up a bit. I added some Old Bay seasoning and some lemon juice. I did serve it over rice with coconut and cumin and peas in it. May try it over pasta next time.

It was OK but there was just no WOW factor to it. It was made as written. We had it over rice and ended up doctoring it a bit with some fresh grated Parmesan.
