    Nice seafood taste. I didn't use the red pepper flakes but will probably add a little blackening season next time to bump of the spice.

    Recipe was modified by reducing heavy cream to 3oz and adding 1 cup of white wine. Hopefully, you will agree it was great...Thanks

    Serve with crusted warm bread and a green salad. a Nice glass of white wine and some candles. Follow it up with a wonderful chocolate dessert like chocolate covered fruits etc. Make it a wonderful evening of enjoying great flavor and company! [I posted this recipe.]
