FABULOUS! I'm tempted to say that the next time I make this I may omit the halibut and do all filleted shrimp, however, it was good with the halibut too. The sauce was wonderful but didn't permeate my thick halibut fillets. No matter...it was wonderful and the shrimp just melted into it and tasted fabulous. This was definitely gourmet quality. Loved it and will definitely make again!
