easy enough for a grilled cheese sandwich burner...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

my friend and I made This one night and it turned out pretty amazing. my friend burns stuff on the stove all the time, but... she made this with no problems at all!we were a little afraid of it being too dry, so we added about 1/3 cup Alfredo sauce we had laying about this helped with any dryness and gave it that extra bit of flavor So it was not over powered by the lemon.other than that we did not deviate and like I said, it was amazing. I'll be making it again tonight! Read more

A little too much lemon.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

My husband and I liked the recipe. We just thought it had a little too much lemon. Maybe only use one next time. Butter in... the garlic, olive oil, and red pepper mixture would be nice. Read more

My husband will eat pretty much anything but he wouldn't eat this dish. He said the dish had no flavor but lemon, and for me... to never make it again.Read more
