  1. We tried this last night and were disappointed. I added extra hot sauce and extra Old Bay, but it was basically a very bland recipe, little flavor and not a hit with my family.
     
  2. Finally made this, after having it on my 'To make' list for a while!!! Just as good as I anticipated, very quick and full of flavour. My DH loved it. I added the Hot Pepper Sauce, and actually, I also added some red chilli flakes, coz I was in the mood for a bit of Bite! but not too much, so as not to kill the shrimp, which it didnt. Instead of rice, I served it over taglioni (very thin ribbon noodles), because we have eaten a lot of rice lately and just felt like pasta....it didnt detract from the dish at all. Thanks, CookinQTGranny!

I live in Indiana and work at Hooters. My mom is Lauralie41 and I enjoy going home and looking at recipes with her, Zaar is my favorite cookbook. My son is seven months old and I cant imagine what it was like without him. He is a very happy, smart little boy and loves going to grandma and grandpas. I think he is going to be pretty spoiled! Will be going back to school soon and have a pretty busy schedule. <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
