User Reviews:

Awesome! I put a bit more cayenne pepper in because my boyfriend is fond of spicy foods, and he hasn't stopped raving about this sauce ever since. I also used chicken - shrimps are expensive here, but it was really delicious!

When I added the parmesan and the milk and the butter, the parmesan turned into a big huge lump of 'cheese'. The more I tried to heat it 'to melt it', the worse it became. Otherwise it was very tasty, but don't think I will make it again due to the 'clumping factor', unless you can help me correct this problem.
