Oh yeah I didn't use the sherry because I didn't have any!

NO I didn't use the whole House Recipe I just added a dash here and there because where else would I use this?

Answer 1

Double the batch size,just don't add any more garlic!,,;-)=

Answer 2

use the sherry, it will probably cut the garlic. I would have used fresh roasted garlic because the garlic salt and un-cooked garlic is usually to powerful. If you broil un-chopped garlic until it gets soft it will not over power the rest of the flavors and still add a great flavor! I am afraid if the garlic salt was added in the end then there is no way to fix it. Never use garlic salt!!!!

Answer 3

Please tell me that you did not use the full amount of the house seasoning ? That house seasoning recipe makes about 1/2 cup when you should have only used a teaspoon ! I would try to add more butter to try to mellow it out or add more shrimp. You will probably need a lot more shrimp.

Answer 4

Just use some red wine vinegar to cut the garlic.....
Let stand for 2 minutes. Enjoy!

Answer 5

The recipe calls for lemon zest, so you could add some lemon juice and it would help with the taste.

Answer 6

I agree with Jcontrol- just add more butter to it till it tastes okay.

Answer 7

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand the question. I see all the words, they just don't make any sense.

How can one have too much garlic?

;)

Answer 8

I don't really see what the garlic was to be used for, and why they used that much. Start over.
