     Genius! I also added shrimp, cooked in the olive oil till just opaque then set aside, deglazed the pan with white wine, then added the butter and proceeded as written. Served over tri-color couscous. Yum! - 4/5/09

     I just loved this. I used regular olive oil instead of extra virgin which added tons of flavour, and added shrimp and scallops into the mix, and ate the whole thing as lunch. Was superb!! - 4/4/09

     Tasty, but I just sprayed the pan w/olive oil pam, used a t of regular butter and mccormick's salt free all purpose seasoning and everything else the same - plugged all the ingredients into the food tracker, ate it all -and had 84 calories. Thanks for the inspiration. - 3/28/09

    I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I would probably have done it your way if I wasn't using the recipe for a cooking competition (which I was) - the only thing "fat" means to judges is flavour haha.

     Made this with shiitake rather than button muschrooms. Turned out great, and it was quick and simple! - 2/10/10

     FANTASTIC! I added some fresh Basil (I put basil on everything) and some leftover baked chicken from dinner :)....very flavorful, very filling. This is on the top of my list of "favorites"! - 1/5/10

     Tried this out this evening and it was fab. I might have added too much lemon....but did enjoy the tang! Going to use the leftover to accompany a piece of salmon tomorrow
    Thanx for sharing - 4/10/09

     Made this last night and served with quinoa. Very good! Didn't have fresh thyme handy, which would have been good, but chopped up 1/4 cup or so of other mixed herbs. (basil, oregano, parsley, Mexican tarragon) Mixed in some smoked salmon that needed to be used; so much for low salt, but good! - 6/3/14

     This was good. I used Lime juice instead of Lemon Juice. I was out of Lemon juice. And I used healthy olive oil. Delicious! - 2/15/10
