Used different ingredients. Oh wow...this mixes some sweet w/ a little heat! I left out the shallot -b/c I didn't have any- and I didn't have any allspice berries -I didn't even have ground allspice, so I put in a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and black pepper (google's substitution for allspice). I used tri-coloured rotini, for extra colour. Ohhh wow...I'm glad we tried something we normally wouldn't have...it was incredible! Will post a photo - 29 Sep 2008

this was fantastic - just used whiskey and alittle orange rind instead of the grand marnier and added a little coconut cream at the end for that lttle bit of creaminess we like - any lover of prawns or any seafood should give this a go - 16 Jun 2010
