I thought this was the best meal I have ever made! Maybe that's overstating it, but it turned out very good and my company was impressed with the layers of flavor in this dish. Salt and pepper are not listed to add, an obvious mistake b/c after the first test I had to add about 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and a few course grinds of pepper.

Well, perhaps it was my substitutions. I used fresh sun-dried tomatoes, but otherwise, it was the same recipe. I think the mixing of cream with the shrimp was a problem -- perhaps less cream, more wine. Also, I used cooking wine instead of the real thing. I added a lot of pepper and that helped. In the recipe, it does state that the Food Network chefs haven't tried it, so you have to guess at the amounts. But still, I think it was rather tasteless and needed something more in the way of spices. Definitely less cream.

I love this recipe - it is a favorite of mine. It was so easy to make and full of flavor. The only thing I would change is to decrease the cream by half.
