    Tasty? Quite. Healthful? Not even... but it's oooooh so good. That baguette never had a chance with that spiced buttery bliss begging for biting between bicuspids. *sorry for the alliteration* I'm a food dork and am now hungry again.

    I have made this recipe several times over the last few years. I highly recommend letting the shrimp marinate for several hours. I follow the recipe exactly, but I prefer to serve the shrimp separately with a small dish of the butter sauce for dipping. Fantastic recipe! Even people who say they don't like shrimp (myself love this dish!

    I made this when we had family in town...it served more than 4 as an appetizer. My mom-in-law loved it so much she took the leftovers back to the hotel with her!!! It was super easy to make as long as you prep all the ingredients before starting the recipe (if you don't prep before, you will have a hard time because you need to stir constantly. If you love butter and shrimp you will love love this recipe!!

    I cannot believe this recipe serves 4 people and has 4 sticks of butter! Do you know that 4 sticks of butter contains 352 grams of fat (224 saturated? Unless you are planning on dying prematurely from heart disease, this dish is not for you! I love shrimp and I love butter but I want to live to see my grandkids grow up. As good as this recipe sounds, I'm going to pass!

    This is RICH but oh-so-good! I've served it twice at two different dinner parties and it was a huge hit! The second time I made it I added old bay and a TBS more habanero pepper sauce to the marinade and then another extra TBS of the pepper sauce to the cooked mixture right before serving. While awesome as is - a little more spice "kicks it up a notch"

    Lots of butter and shrimp. You can not go wrong. We also added a little bit of lump crab meat when serving. It was awesome.

    I have made this dish several times, and unless you are taking the time to measure out all of the ingredients for Essence, its really not that hard. Just be careful that you let the shrimp warm up a bit before you add them to the butter sauce, or it may lock up a bit and scare you into boosting the heat too much. Just don't do it. Very low heat really is the key.

    This was something different to do with Shrimp. My husband who only likes it scampied or grilled loved it!

    My husband rated it 11, in a scale from 1 to 10. I just halved the recipe for my husband and I, and served the shrimp over pasta. Delicious main course.
