I made this for dinner for Valentine's day & they were amazing! I used pinot grigio both in the sauce & as an accompaniment & it went exceedingly well. I served this w/ barely buttered, toasted french bread (very good dipped in the sauce) & the pinot grigio. I had other courses planned & ready to eat but we enjoyed this so much that we decided to forego the other courses (we'll have them for dinner tonight). It was simply the best meal I have ever eaten! - 21 Jul 2008
Great EASY recipe! Steamed about 15-20 minutes. Served with Ceasar Salad and garlic/butter rice. Make sure you have some good dipping bread! Makes a lot of juice! - 21 Jul 2008
Used different ingredients. This was delicious! I used roasted garlic instead of regular garlic, extra butter and the juice of one lemon and sprinkled some crushed chillies on top!! FAB. - 21 Jul 2008
