I made these with thawed cooked mussel meat, as there are very few recipes for these. This turned out to be very good. I would make it again, but next time I would use half the linguine. I had to make another batch of sauce to give the linguine sufficient flavor. I would also add a cup of veggie or chicken broth to increase the amount of sauce and the flavor. Otherwise very good.

Now this is a GOOD recipe! So flavourful - perfect for company but so easy to throw together after a hard days work - which is just what I did. I also doubled the red pepper flakes and loved the black pepper on the leeks as they cooked. I used a dry Pinot Grigio which brought out the flavours wonderfully. I have no clue how much my pasta weighed as I have a handy gadget that looks like a painters palate that has holes in it for different pasta serving sizes - I did it for three which is a circular bunch that measures about 1 1/8 inch in diameter. Sorry - no photo - my camera card decided to have a fatal error :(

This has now became my most favorite Shrimp dish. I have been making the same dish forever and I think this may very well have replaced it. Made just a few little changes, I doubled the red pepper flakes cuz we like things hot. Although DH said it was a tad bit too hot. May not do that in the future. Also I cut the linguine in half. There still was lots to eat. Package recommends 2 oz per serving. That's what I did. We just loved this dish. Thanks for posting.
