This was a wonderful, quick and easy weekday dinner for the two of us. Made as written but upped the garlic and sherry. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent tasting shrimp with just the right amount of spice! I opted for the lemon juice version and thought it was delicious. I will definitely make these shrimp again. Thank you!

Great tasting shrimp and it went so well with your glazed grilled salmon tonight. I didn't use as much red pepper flakes as called for, but the flavor was still really nice. Loved the sherry addition.

This was nice and spicy...just the way hubby and I like our food...I served mine alone while I served hubby's over rice...he did say it didn't blend well with rice...so he just ate his alone too! I could see making a huge batch of this to serve to a crowd...=)
