    This is a great recipe! I have made in countless times. The sauce recipe is delicious. I have used it on Baked scallops, lobster and Chicken breasts! It’s a nice light sauce and so flavorful. I have used cream cheese in place of the cream and chicken broth in place of the wine if I only had those ingredients on hand. Turns out great !

    I have made this a few times, always good. I forgot to let the sauce simmer last time, stronger wine flavor. Better to let it simmer. After baking for 13 min, I kick on the broiler to get the breadcrumbs crispy and toasty. Accidentally grabbed basil and sprinkled that in the sauce. It worked well as an additional flavor.

    This is delicious! I made it with half and half, and used cooked shrimp I had in my freezer. After thawing, I added them halfway through the baking time. We ate up the last of the sauce with a bit of French bread. Yum!
