Cher, this recipe is excellent! I made this for my parents while visiting with them this summer, after selecting it for the July "Pick A Chef" event. Everyone enjoyed it so much! The only change I made was to substitute Old Bay Seasoning (reducing to 1 tsp) for the seasoning salt, as my Mom had none on hand. She suggested using the Old Bay because it is a natural with the shrimp, and it worked perfectly! We served over rice as you suggested and also added a tossed green salad and garlic bread. Wonderful recipe, Cher! Thank you for sharing!! I have already had requests for an encore presentation ;)

For us, the flavour of the Worcestershire seemed too strong! The sauce was really thick so I did thin it a bit with some 10% cream. If I make it again I would reduce the Worcestershire by at least half or maybe even omit it. Thanks.

This is a very elegant dish that can be whipped up in no time. I added a tiny bit of white wine to thin it a little but otherwise it's perfect! Great recipe, Cher!
