Very good! I managed to overcook the shrimp so will be careful next time. A lovely meal and different fish dish that's also quick to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This was delicious....everything I could want in my dinner. I followed the recipe as written except like a previous reviewer I did add some jalapeno in step 8 for some zip. Will definately be going in my Favorites for 2010! Made for Zaar Alphabet Soup tag game. Thank you for a wonderful dish!

I totally agree, this is company food. We didn't have any shrimp and loved it anyways. We plan to make again for company and to make sure to have the shrimp and perhaps a bit more cheeeez! Just wantedto add that we did use the white wine...of course!!

I can't believe I forgot to review this recipe! DH and I made this easy, tasty dish for dinner awhile back and we both loved it. My only addition was to add diced jalapeno to the dish in Step 8 in order to give it a little heat. The result was perfect. Thanks for posting. I will be making this again.

A very good whitefish recipe...I did cut down on the milk I put in, but otherwise followed the recipe...
