We made this a couple nights ago. It was just my husband and I so we cut the recipe in half and had it for two meals . It was so delicious and a very attractive meal also. I will definitely make this for company. The spinach makes it look great (and taste great too ) . I can't have red sauce which makes this even better. Anything else you would suggest? Thanks so much for this one?

Paula & Bobby, I watch your show every day but one day last week (can't remember which day but it must have been Tuesday because that's the only day you have a shrimp recipe listed) I watched you cook a shrimp & baby bella mushroom recipe that Bobby said was his son's favorite meal. I was called out of the room during part of it so I didn't catch the entire recipe. I sure missed the part about there being a pint of heavy whipping cream in it. I was hoping to make the recipe for my family but my husband is diabetic (struggling to maintain) and I just can't serve him this. Is this the recipe you made on the show? If it is, can I use no fat half & half in place of the cream without ruining the flavor? If it's not the correct recipe, can you please send me the right one or post it here on your web site. I'm sure others would be interested as well. Thanks so much! I LOVE watching the show & really enjoy having Bobby's lighter versions of your great recipes.
