This is an excellent pasta dinner! Sauteing the mushrooms really brought out their flavor. I didn't have stewed italian tomatoes, so I used canned diced tomatoes and added 1 t italian seasoning. This is very good! Thanks, Dorothy! As usual, a great recipe! -
Excellent recipe. Was better than most restaurants I have been to. Receipe serves 4 easily. I followed receipe exactly with the exception of green sweet pepper - only used 1/2 of the pepper. -
My husband and I both gave this recipe 5 stars! We felt as though we were dining in an elegant Italian restaurant. The blend of flavors with the added shrimp was absolutely scrumptious. I served the meal with Italian garlic bread and tossed green salad. Delightful, Dorothy! Another winner!! -
This turned out excellant!! the best shrimp pasta i've made for some time, left over frozen shimp from a month ago, woked very well. Served with spinach salad and crusty rolls. Try it you'll like it!! -
This is definitely restaurant quality. My hubby and I had a night together without the kids. This was our dinner by candlelight. Very delicious and easy to put together. Lets just say we had a very memorable evening :) Thanks!!

I cooked the shrimp myself (instead of using pre-cooked shrimp), in olive oil, with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika for about 3 mins on medium heat. I cooked the sauce in the same pan as the shrimp and deglazed it first with a bit of white wine. I also added pepper to the sauce, and let it simmer for about 30 mins.

Added sugar, oregano, and Italian seasoning. -
Added some oregano and Italian seasoning to amp up the flavor. Also stirred in one cup of Parmesan cheese just before serving.

I made this today and we thought it was great! I made a few changes based on our tastes and what I had on hand. Instead of using chicken stock I made a shrimp stock. I added a bit of pasta water and let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes. I added some crushed red pepper, but next time I think I may add some more, and probably more garlic. I also used raw shrimp and let it cook in the sauce for a couple minutes. I didn't have any fresh basil but I bet it would have made it that much better. I served this with some garlic bread and even my 3 year old son (who can be picky at time) loved it!<br/>thanks for posting
