Very good, but needed to add bay leaf. Next time I will cook all ingredients except shrimp for an hour to allow the flavors to blend (I cooked it over the stove and not in the microwave.

Great! Does not need any changes to the original recipe. Even my teenagers loved it.

When I made the chocolate version, I used a Ghirardelli's Chocolate Hazelnut Cocoa. Every Pizzelle turned out perfect. The hazelnut flavor was subtle and an excellant accent. I also made a regular batch using anise flavoring instead of vanilla but the batter was difficult to work with (I discarded it and made a second batch thinking I had done something wrong - but the second batch was the same). The pizzelles were so popular at work - and the hazelnut cocoa pizzelles went quickly. I am giving this recipe 5 stars for the optional chocolate recipe. I have been asked to bring it again next year!
