Quite delicious and oh-so easy! I added about 1/4 cup white wine whisked with a dash of cornstarch to thicken and add savoriness. A big hit with the hubs and I'll be making this again and again. -
Made the recipe as written, with fresh Roma tomatoes from our garden. My husband's reaction from his first bite..."mmmm..." it truly is good; definitely a keeper! -
Made this pretty according to recipe, other than I used a can of petite diced seasoned tomatoes since its March and no fresh 'maters here. I also put it over polenta instead of pasta. The missus of 48 years said I better make it again! Fantastico!

I made this tonight. Words cannot describe how delicious it was. I followed the recipe as written. My husband and I devoured the whole dinner ourselves. If you like shrimp and garlic, I would definitely double this recipe for 4 adults. -
So quick and easy! I used spaghetti and canned tomatoes, a 420 gr tin. Otherwise, exactly as directed.. oh, I added a chopped onion, I like onions... This was fresh, tasty and with a pleasant bite, it made a marvellous Friday night supper when I wanted something that little bit special, but didn't feel like hours of cooking! Lovely, Thanks Connie!

I'm going to add some heavy cream and parmesan cheese -
I made some minor modifications - I used a combination of Earth Balance & EVOO instead of butter. I also added some sliced baby portabello mushroom which I sauted after removing the shrimp from the pan - I removed the mushrooms to the same plate as the shrimp while preparing the sauce. I also subbed fresh basil for the parsley. Delicious. My husband loved it too!

<p><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j184/cjmcqb/Family/IMG_0556-1-1-2-2.jpg alt=width=58 height=116 /><br />I have been married to the most wonderful man for 34 years. He is my best friend and the love of my life, my soulmate, and everyday he makes me smile! We have two wonderful children, both adults, and both the loves of our lives. We are so proud of them!<br /><br />I want to say <strong>THANK YOU</strong> <img title=Laughing src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /> to all of you who try my recipes. I may not always get back with a Thank you in writing but I want you to know I do thank you very much. I appreciate any and all comments, it can only help me learn and become a better chef. <br /><br />I love to travel and see anything and everything. When summer comes, I am off to see. DH and I traveled across country several times and our children are seasoned travelers as well. Road Trip are 2 of my favorite words. The kids and I have done a few trips as well down the eastern seaboard and there are plans for more. Both DD and DS are gypsies as well and think nothing of taking a road trip to visit home or each other. LOVE IT <br /><br />I live in Western New York and love it here, snow and all. I am a special education teacher and enjoy my career. The sense of wonder and gratification comes daily. My favorite pastime is spending time with my family! I also love to read, listen to music and watch good movies. We have Friday night pizza night here, which means I do not cook! I love Friday's. I started this custom when my children were small and we would cuddle on the floor and play games together and eat pizza. (Highly recommended for all moms out there, dads too.) I LOVE THAT! <br /><br />My favorite cookbook has changed since I came to Zaar, it is now the Zaarworld cookbook. I can get everything I need here and then some, to cook up meals for family and friends. One passion of mine is to cook homestyle meals for family and friends, holiday dinners, and baking bread. <br />My pet peeve is rudeness. INTOLERABLE! <br /><br />Some of the Contests and Swaps I have participated in and thoroughly enjoyed! <br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/final2_1.jpg
