Although the end result was at least edible (after I added some salt and pepper), it was NOT like Red Lobster's Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, so seek another recipe if that is what you want. Aside from that, there were three problems. 1)The sautéed garlic, was over done by the time the shrimp finished cooking, it should have been done after the shrimp. 2)The sauce doesn't thicken, ever. 3)No salt? No pepper? Really???

Yum! This was super simple and delish. I didn't use the shrimp this time because I was serving it with recipe #285338. Thanks for sharing, Lynn. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

Outstanding dish !!! I made 2 variations with 2 serving each.. I made the recipe as posted for DW, and I and I replaced the shrimp with chicken, for the kids. It made for a great lunch, and will make again.. Made for Zaar Stars.

This was fantastic. My kids have a new fasination with shrimp. NOrmally, they won't eat white pastas sauce, but they gobbled this up. Since I was trying to use up veggies from the garden, I also added some shredded zucchni to mine. Yummy.

Very good and easy to make. I had some leftover chicken so used that instead of the shrimp. I followed the recipe as written other then I subbed chicken broth for the white wine as I did not have any. Everyone enjoyed this.
