• Notes:.
• 1) The Instructions are overwhelming to some especially the "Preparation Step" (based on the contest requirements as a gift). However, you can simple take all the ingredients over to a home and cook. Or invite people over to your home and make the recipe.
• 2) Next time I would try and improve on this recipe by thickening the sauce a little (flour, corn starch, cream) -- That is, when the seafood is in the pan and having the sauce stick to the ingredients.
