  1. This is truly restaurant-quality! Event though I made a few minor changes (one inadvertent), it came out fabulously. I mistakenly added fish base instead of the chicken base, and I chose to use Dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard. I had 8 beautiful colossal shrimps (size 8-12 per pound). They were cooked perfectly! There was a lot of sauce. I served this as a first course on New Years' Day. Two shrimp per person would have been sufficient, and I cut back on the bread a little bit. This is really an impressive dish that is easy to execute. Thanks for sharing this! Made for PRMR Tag Game.
     
  2. Came out fantastic!! Made it following the recipe exactly except I used pasta instead of bread. I also got a bit heavy handed with the JackDaniels and almost lit the kitchen up! ?? I also made Blackened Sea Bass using Blackened Redfish spice and used the sauce over it and it was amazing! I will definitely be doing both again.
     
  3. Amazing recipe!! I unfortunately did not have fresh tarragon, so had to use dried (1 tsp dried for 1 tbsp fresh). I also ended up using dijon mustard from what I had available. Will definitely be making this again! Thank you for sharing chef!
