Sounds wonderful!!


I made this tonight and it was wonderful. I served this over a simply seasoned and grilled New York Steak, sort-of a surf and turf. The flavors worked so well together. I've made tequila lime shrimp before, but I've never added cream to the mixture, thank you for this truly amazing recipe.


OLE'


HOLY MOLY! that sounds terrific!
