Just average
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I'm in the minority here, but I honestly did not find it that delicious. It was a bit bland and not very memorable.

Really good and pretty quick
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried this tonight because I had leftover basil & heirloom cherry tomatoes and there's always shrimp in the freezer and white... wine in the fridge. Used a great basil olive oil for the saute, also undercooked the shrimp just a bit on the first pass so they could soak up some of the garlic/basil flavor on the reheat. Saved a bit of pasta water because we like it a bit saucy. Served it with the orzo and flat bread toasted with basil oil and a bit of parm cheese. DELISH! Taking the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Thanks Ellie, great dish. (BTW, first saw the recipe in my Costco mag). Read more

This recipe was light, and very tasty. I substituted the white wine for chicken stock, since I didn't have any wine on hand.... Very fragrant and tasty!Read more

I added some yellow and orange bell peppers with the tomatoes as well as some cashews towards the very end. I put it on top... of some rice noodles and everyone loved it! Read more
