Boy, if I was not married, I'd marry myself, It was very good had to brag on myself the wife had me to make it for her, Put in a little extra to have leftovers, instead of rice I used veggies, poured some sauce over them.Now dinner is served.

Recipe was too salty. I think it might've been the second Tbsp of chicken base that put it over the edge. If you prepare this, add zero salt and cut down on the chicken base.

This recipe was very easy. The outcome was good, but in my opinion, the dish was EXTREMELY salty. The only thing I can attribute that to is the chicken base. I will make it again, but next time, I will cut the base in half, or see if I can find a low sodium base instead. I served it over penne pasta and followed the recipe as written.

Turned out PERFECT! It was a bit salty, and I like salt. I doubled the recipe, and I think next time I will use a little less of the chicken base, and use real butter, to make it not quite so salty. I used only about 1/4 teaspoon of red crushed pepper and that was just right for us.<br/>Other than that it was YUMMY!!! YOU MUST HAVE FRENCH BREAD FOR DIPPING! Thanks for that info to prior posters! a MUST TRY recipe for Seafood lovers- you wont find anything this good in a restaurant, and I live on the Beach!

This was great! I actually didn't even make it with shrimp and scallops - I just made the sauce and served it on homemade gnocchi. I added maybe a tablespoon of flour and 1/4 cup of grated cheese at the end to thicken it up. I served it on the side with a tuna steak. Next time I think I'll cut down on the onions (it was a little much for 2 servings). Thank you!
