Really delicious and so easy to make! Fast to put together, too. I made this for a quiet dinner for just the handsome hubby and me - a nice, dry Riesling wine fit the bill perfectly for the recipe and was an excellent accompaniment to the dinner. Served the shrimp over angelhair pasta, with a salad and fresh French bread rolls. Another winner, Kitten, thank you!
