This was amazing! It was the hit of our Italian dinner, Feast of the Seven Fishes, on Xmas eve. The lemon zest gives it such a fresh taste. Loved it!

I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. I substituted few things because we are in a rented home for vacation and I used Franks hot sauce because I couldn’t find the red pepper flakes at the store. That is about all that I had to change. I will definitely be making this at home. We are in Texas on vacation, and the Texas shrimp fresh from the water is great.
Amber says
Thank you!, Made it! Yum Yum! My husband loved it!
Jim McConnell says
I only used half the parmesan but otherwise followed the directions. I also used fresh posta. My wife and I liked it, but it was a little to lemony for our taste.
Ann Weiskopf says

Kendall says
This meal was amazing! I had it with my two little girls, 7 years old and 2 years old. Both of them liked it, but the seven-year-old did say it was a little too lemony for her. I think next time I will lay off the lemon juice a little bit and maybe half the amount of lemon zest. They also can’t handle large amounts of spice, so I would find some sort of garlic spice in place of the Cajun mix. This time, I had used lemon pepper spice in place of Cajun, so that may have also contributed to the over abundance of lemon flavor for them. Thank you for an awesome recipe though. I loved it!
