The flavors in this dish are outstanding, and it made a great special occasion (Father's Day) dinner for us. Very rich. I do wish the sauce had thickened more. It was very thin. Also, following this cooking technique, I could not get a good sear on my scallops. I added them to the pan over high heat before adding the shrimp, but I couldn't get that appealing char on them at all. These minor concerns aside, everyone at the table loved this seafood dish and it came together easily. I served with sides of orzo, crusty multigrain bread, corn on the cob and a mixed greens salad. Thanks Mizz Nezz!
