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.

Quick and easy to prepare! Plus it was delicious leftover! I used the chicken broth and served mine over spaghetti. I also added more seasoning to the shrimp. I added some salt, pepper, and creole seasoning to give it more flavor.

the original is called Sampi alla Triestina, but at least someone who cares,(without the noodles) with some white bread and wine. Try it sometimes

I read all of the reviews and tripled the liquid amounts and then added 3-4 tablespoons of 1/2 and 1/2 with some Wondra quick-mixing flour. You could use regular flour or corn starch. Next time I'm quadrupling the liquid amount. Also used a small amount of pepper flakes like you get with pizza. Terrific flavour!

After reading other reviews, I added extra garlic, butter and chicken broth. Then I added the cooked pasta to the pan before putting it all in the oven. My husband couldn't say enough how much he enjoyed this meal.

Excellent. Peeling and deveining the shrimp weren't my favorite part but we picked up fresh shrimp at the docks while the boats came in when we were on vacation at the beach. It doesn't get much better than that.
