Simply splendid! Cooked Shrimps In Pernod for dinner last night and it was delicious! What could be simpler? I used to use a recipe that I tried to copy after eating it at the Watergate restaurant in Washington D.C.--for that one I used heavy cream. Your recipe is not only "lighter" but really lets the flavor of the Pernod sing!

I'm so drawn to you...here I visit the pernod shrimp again, must make soon, it has been far too long. Thanks for the compliment, sweets. It is the pink grapefruit essence, "they" say it makes you appear five years younger.....I bathe in it.
