If I was floating in that much butter I'd be happy too : ) I don't think I would make this. - 11/26/09

Based on the fact that it calls for 1 lb of shrimp, I'd bet this is actually a recipe for 4 servings - not 1. - 4/29/09

Looking at the fact that the calories are well over 1100 I don't think I would touch it. Are you sure this is right? - 4/29/09

Thsi is outrageously high in calories, and the serving size CANNOT be right. There is no way I would make this unless I wanted to blow my diet altogether. - 4/29/09

Has anyone made this using milk instead of heavy cream? I know the sauce will be thinner. This one meal pretty much is my entire calorie & is all of my fat intake for the day. But it sounds really good! - 4/29/09
