We'd give this more stars if we could! Absolutely wonderful shrimp dish. I used fresh spinach (which I sliced into strips) and fresh basil (generously), and a pinch of cayenne pepper because I didn't have crushed red pepper flakes. I served this over jasmine rice. Our family loved this! We would happily make and eat this again; thanks for a great recipe!
