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

This was so good! I doubled the wine and butter to make is saucier and used pepper jack cheese to give it a little heat. and even my husband liked it and he isn't a big cheese person. Will definitely be making this again!

This sounded like it would be really good. It was just toooooo cheesy for our family. I've made other dishes with shrimp and marinated artichokes. So I did combine them with this dish. That part was very good. Just couldn't handle the cheese on the shrimp.

So simple and delicious. This has become a family favorite. I make it at least once a month!

way too much cheese, needs to have something else with it to cut the richness

Very tasty... tastes like something from a fine seafood restaurant. After 3 bites, my husband said, "this is guest-worthy". Will make again!

I would make this again in a heartbeat. would add more wine and add shallots. Needs just a little more flavor. but otherwise very good.

This is one of my husband's favorites. I don't think I would substitute anything for the butter and we like the flavor that the white wine gives. Usually I serve it over pasta, preferably spinach noodles. I think this might be interesting as an appetizer, if you are able to keep it warm so that the cheese doesn't get cold and clumpy. If you have a warming tray this might work and be an interesting appetizer that guests would like.

My husband & I love this! We've decided to have this at home rather go out to eat on several occasions. I increase the garlic to 4 cloves, but we're garlic lovers.

Wow! I loved this dish! My husband loved it, too! The white wine makes it so tasty. Next time, I plan on substituting a couple ingredients for more health-conscious ones and see if it maintains the same elevated flavor; olive oil, applesauce or unsalted butter for the butter, chicken broth cubes for chicken broth and low fat shredded Monterey Jack cheese for the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Yum!!! My boyfriend loved this and it was so filling. I added more butter, 1/2 cup fat-free half and half and 1/3 cup flour to make it creamier. Any shredded cheese works with this dish and you don't need a lot.
