    Excellent. We enjoyed these very much. Loved the marinade on the shrimp, which I chopped. One note to guide you: I whisked together the cream mixture in the sour cream container with a fork. Along with the spices, this thinned the sour cream to a pourable consistency. So no need to add the water at all! In fact, that amount of water would have ruined the cream topping, I think.
