I love it. Very easy to make. I like it really creamy so I guess the cream cheese does the trick.

We L-O-V-E this recipe!! I've made it often, and the ONLY change I make is to use pre-cooked, deveined shrimp. A family favorite!!

Although it was good it was not great. I think it was the cream cheese I did not care for. I would not make this again.

We love this recipe! I make this every time shrimp goes on sale. I buy the frozen stuff and take the tails off after I saute them.

Practically every time I ask what everyone wants for diner, my daughter asks for this recipe. I do cheat a little...I use fresh, deveined, pre-cooked shrimp I get from the local deli. It is a lot less time consuming to make. We love it!

The sauce tastes great! Much better than the ready-to-eat sauces that they sell at the supermarket.
