Shrimp Francese image

Found this recipe in Food Network magazine - looks so good, I found several "chicken" Francese recipes here but none for shrimp. I love shrimp and this sounds like one I really enjoy. The salt and pepper is to taste, but I had to guess at the amount to post

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. It was easy to make and the shrimp turned out well, but the sauce was a bit too lemony for my taste.

I thought the recipe was a bit too complicated and time-consuming. I ended up simplifying it and it still turned out great.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but the shrimp was cooked perfectly.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The shrimp always comes out tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful.

I added some chopped artichoke hearts to the sauce and it gave it a nice extra dimension of flavor.
