WONDERFUL!!!! We used this for our 4th of July picnic and It was a big hit. As others suggested we used 3/4 C old bay to 6 quarts water + 1 beer, 1 large sweet onion halved, 1 large lemon halved and several cloves of garlic. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Great for spending time entertaining your guests while serving a delicious one pot easy meal! We will be doing this again on the beach this weekend. PS, we had a few left over potato's and cut them up for hash browns in the morning and they were even better.

I thought this recipe was GREAT, the 4 star rating was for the few modifications I made. In response to the other reviews I did double the sauce. To cut some fat I used milk but in place of the cream I used fat free evaporated milk (same measurements) I used smart balance in the sauce and butter for the shrimp. In place of just parm. I used a pre-shredded blend in the deli section of parm. romano, and asiago. I love garlic so I added a little extra and went easy on the pepper and hot sauce because I was also serving this to my picky kids. This had a nice kick but wasn't too hot. I used fresh broccoli and pesto (I loved the flavor and I don't think just fresh basil would have had the same affect)Lastly I made the sauce a few hrs. in advance and I think that may have been a good thing as I discovered the flavors had a chance to blend and tasted better after some time. ( another reviewer had mentioned it was good reheated)All in all I was a great hit and will be made again!

I thought this was a great dish, much less sodium than anything in a box. I wanted to cut back on the fat so I used fat free evaporated milk instead of cream in the same measurements and it worked very well. I sliced the potato's thin with a mandolin and it cooked in the right amount of time and the texture was good. I chopped the garlic instead of slicing and it was good but not overpowering. I did not find the milk separation or the grease on the top that others reported ( perhaps because of the cream substitution? ) I thought it was quick and easy and very tasty.I will make it again.
