    This was a great dish! My boyfriend isn't the biggest shrimp fan and he LOVED it. I didn't have the essence put together so I just threw all of the essence ingredients on the shrimp directly, I added a little bit more cayenne and some cajun since we like things spicy and threw in a little creole seasoning. I didn't think the lemon was overpowering at all, I actually threw in a little more than what the recipe called for. I only had a 1/4 left of dry white wine so I added just a little bit of vermouth too. The dish turned out amazing, the only thing I would do different next time is put some fresh parm cheese on top! But GREAT dish!

    This was just okay to me. I agree with another reviewer that there was too much wine and lemon juice. I didn't season the shrimp with the salt and pepper at the end as I could tell there was plenty of Essence for seasoning and I was right.
