I cooked this for the family and add vegetables and served on rice! It was such a hit I had to cook it again the next night!

I have made this twice in less than a week! EASY, FAST, and delicious! The second time I combined it with lobster ravioli and topped it with fresh shredded parmesan. My son "freaked" out. Said it was as good, if not better than any 5 star restaurant.
