Answer 1

I think it would be good. I know it doesn't sound too flavorful, but the main flavor would come from the shrimp. However, I like only lightly seasoned shrimp, so this recipe sounds complete to me.

Answer 2

Don't change that red wine in the recipe!!! Even though we think of white wines going with fish, there are LOTS of wonderful shrimp recipes made with red wine. I'm sure that's a key part of your recipe, so don't change that. Because of that, it probably doesn't need a lot of seasoning. I know it's hard not to change some recipes, but I would give it a try just the way it is. If you were using white wine, then I'd suggest some other seasonings, or other seasings would likely be included if the recipe called for white. Give it a try. Then if you think it needs something, you can add something the next time you make it. I bet the red wine will provide the seasoning you think is missing. I love fresh garlic too, but with the red.. again... might just be enough.

Answer 3

I'm sorry, but I put seasoning on ALL my food--maybe its because I'm black. I would definitely sprinkle some Adobe Seasoning on the shrimp while its frying in the skillet. Trust me, Adobe Seasoning on shrimp or any meat will make it taste so good you'll want to slap somebody.

Answer 4

I'd go for white wine, instead of red. If anything is missing you could add a little Bay Seasoning......it's great in many seafood dishes.........and even a few I can think of that have no fish. I'd add garlic ~ but my family loves garlic in almost everything!

Answer 5

1st of all, I'd definitely use white wine with shrimp, not red. and I add garlic to everything.

Answer 6

Yes, you are missing garlic. Red wine is ok but white is better.

Answer 7

white wine, with garlic, and oregeno
