TOO much butter!!!!!!!!!June 08, 2009By mrstiffanywhite
"My husband was FURIOUS when he found out there was 1 lb of butter in this recipe! Before making it, I thought it was a bit much too. But, I followed the recipe anyway thinking maybe the 2 lbs of shrimp I added, plus the 2 cups of rice would make it ok. The flavor was good, but my family's plates were filled with grease and we had to wipe off the shrimp to eat it, and disgard the rice. Moreover, this recipe was only supposed to be for 4 servings...which means, ""1 stick of butter per person."" How DISGUSTING!!! I don't know what I was thinking when I put all that butter in that skillet!!!!!!! If you are thinking about making this recipe, PLEASE only use 1 stick of butter!"
