Awesome! The flavor was fantastic! The only suggestion I have is to start with 1 1/2 cups of half and half instead of pouring in the whole 2 cups. Two cups made the sauce a little thinner than my personal preference. I definitely plan to serve this at my next dinner party.

This recipe was a pleasant suprise for the boyfriend and I. We did add carrots and used a chopper to finely chop our veggies but I would recommend blending them down or the whole thing (minus the shrimp if you prefer once your done making it. We used two large cloves of garlic thinking...eh we love garlic, it'll turn out good. Yeah, no. It's still delicious but a little strong. Oh, and we used seafood stock as well which I was nervous about but it turned out great!
