Delicious. The fennel seeds are what make it better than your average shrimp pasta dish. My husband loved it! And it was good for leftovers too. Yummo!

So easy to make and had all ingredients in the house. I made two versions: one shrimp and one chicken. Both were delicious! The chicken took a bit longer to cook than the shrimp so a lot for the extra time.
