on 8/23/2008 Southernlady -- my BF and I just got done eating this (with some slight variations) and we both give it five big stars! For veggies we used a simple square box of frozen broccoli. We had whole roasted almonds, which we ground up in the food processor. I let it cook a bit longer, more like 15-20 minutes, and I put the cheese in while it was cooking by mistake. I added more cheese on the top when it was done. What resulted was shrimp in a delicious, nutty, light and filling (but not over-filling) sauce -- enough to satisfy both of us. I plan to use variations on this as a sauce for angel hair and a coating for tilapia filet. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!!
