    I cut down on the lemon and the butter and I left the shallots in the sauce. Received many kudos at the party I served them at

    I had to throw this one out. Maybe he used two tiny lemons. Mind was just to tart and bitter. I tried adding more cream and butter but could taste nothing but lemon juice.
