This was a hit! I also used non-fat half & half. It worked great -- sauce was nice and smooth. I used less shrimp but placed them on a bed of cheese tortellini and served the sauce over it all. I loved the little bit of "kick" given by the seafood seasoning. -
This was wonderful! I used fat free half-and-half and it worked great! Thanks for posting!

My most important characteristic is this: I am a child of God through the gracious work of Jesus Christ!
I love to be with my family and friends. Interests? Writing, reading, cooking, dancing, teaching, splashing in puddles...I am an English teacher, wannabe children's author, and a bit of a health nut...and I can't stand high pitched squeaky noises.
