Delicious and so fast to prepare. (The only snag was my cat feasting on the shrimp as it thawed on the counter.) We all enjoyed the light yet filling dish! The Dijon and red pepper flakes bring out the lemon. I didn't find it mustardy at all. The rice was perfectly flavoured by the sauce. I'm only sad that I forgot to add the parsley! I had made a special trip to the grocery store to pick it up!
