We also tried the recipe (by Liz Pearson) from Rachael's Mag. It is a wonderful Spanish appetizer that goes great with a dark red wine. We served in individual bowls which made it much easier to mop up the great sauce.

This recipe is amazing! We used cilantro instead of parsley and also added fresh squeezed lemon and a little zest. Definately will be making this one again.

Wonderful, outstanding, easy. What could be better?? I had this one in my "to try" folder for quite a while, due to my husbands' dislike for shrimp. A friend told me that she had made it using scallops, so I decided to make it half scallops, half shrimp (which I adore). Sooooo glad I tried it. Made it exactly as written other than using half scallops. Cooked everything for approx 2 min per side. The proteins were PERFECTLY cooked. The two of us ate the entire thing, with nice crusty bread to sop up the delicious sauce. There was plenty of sauce for the two of us, with a lot left over, If it weren't pure oil, I would have eaten all the leftover sauce. This will be a "special occasion" dish.

Absolutely outstanding! Better than the ones served at most Spanish/Portuguese restaurants that I have been to. I can't believe I can make this at home now. Thank you very much.
