First of all, I don't understand the 1/2 cup of olive oil. I used just as much as I needed to. I didn't taste as much garlic as I expected to. I will admit this, though. While I wasn't thinking, I accidentally crushed the garlic to peel it, so I just minced it, but I doubt that really made a difference. If I planned on making it again, I would flour the shrimp to thicken the sauce some.

Simply amazing! This is definitely a keeper! Fast and simple yet full of flavor. I did leave the shells on- let them do some of the work! lol I think it adds to the flavor too when they cook in their shells. Not that this needed any help. These flavors blend superbly and is so yummy! The red pepper added a hint of sweetness to this dish and a burst of pretty color! I served this over my recipe #143499 which soaked up some of the wonderful sauce in this recipe. We were relly bad and even used some crusty bread to get every last delicious drop. You will want to do the same. I even caught dh licking his fingers because it was so good! My chef's hat is off to you V. This is one amazing creation!

I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes...
