100% would make again

For a special occasion or when company's coming, this delicious seafood dish makes a lasting impression. You'll be surprised at how fast you can prepare it. A mild, fresh-tasting sauce and the Monterey Jack cheese nicely complement the shrimp, I serve it over pasta or rice. —Jane Birch Edison, New Jersey

The all-time favorite, go-to meal in our house! I double the broth and add more butter to make the sauce, and serve this over hot cooked rice (to soak up all the yummy sauce)!
