Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I did a much better job with this on my second attempt. Did not overcook the shrimp, whew! I also felt like I got the seasoning just right and did not mess up the egg addition to the sauce. It also all came together really easily, and I had all the ingredients at home already too so it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

    This came together easily and was restaurant quality, easily. Getting some solid bangers from this book.

    Classic. Just like I remember. Great dish.

    Exactly the right texture, but the white pepper was a little too strong for me. (Maybe because I used fresh ground?) As a result, it didn’t quite scratch the itch I had for the dish, but it wasn’t bad.
