  1. Excellent recipe but a bit more guidance from the poster would may be helpful. <br/><br/>1. Lightly brown the chopped garlic and let sit with the heat off to infuse the oil.<br/>2 Reheat and add peppers. Saute to soften.<br/>3. Add tomatoes and cook until juices are released than add lemon juice.<br/>4. Stir in shrimp, salt and pepper to taste. Add cilantro.<br/><br/>I didn't add the parsley or cream but either one could be good additions if desired. Served mixed with angel hair pasta and crunchy bread with a bit of butter and garlic. <br/><br/>Overall this is a terrific recipe. I used a couple jalapeno peppers which added a fine layer of heat without overwhelming the palette. YMMV depending on your taste. I WILL make this again with the cream. The colors held because of the short cooking times. <br/><br/>Overall a great special dinner, Keep in mind there is a lot of chopping and dicing involved in the prep time. Other than that it's a fast dinner dish with a lot of great textures. <br/><br/>Thanks for the recipe. LOVED the lemon flavor and so will guests as it's very unexpected but certainly brings out the flavor of the other ingredients.
     
  2. 10-Star recipe alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was so good. Kind of reminds me of Greek shrimp with lemon and feta which I adore. This was practically inhaled! Thanks so much for posting!!!
     
  3. This was incredible! Soooo good. I added a small box of crema at the end. Have enough left for another meal. I am going to add a little white wine and serve over pasta. Really great dish. Thanks for sharing.
