    This recipe is definetly a keeper. I wish I doubled the batch. The only thing I did was add some white cooking wine and a dab of butter. Served with rice it was fantastic. Just the right amount of spice. I used some frozen scallops and shrimp. A great quick and easy meal with ingredients already on hand. Great flavor. Add lots of zesrt!!
