LOVED IT AND ESPECIALLY THE TARTAR SAUCE. ONE THING I LIKE TO DO IS ROAST THE SHRIMP IN THE OVEN (LIKE IN INA'S RECIPES . BUT, OTHER THAN THAT, THIS WAS CERTAINLY AN ENJOYABLE DISH.
IT'S A LITTLE SCARY TO SEE REVIEWERS ASK IF THE PASTA SHOULD BE COOKED ......READ THE RECIPE!!! IT STATES "COOKED" DITALINI. OR JUST GO AHEAD AND THROW THE RAW PASTA INTO THE SALAD AND THEN WRITE A BAD REVIEW.

Our family loves this dish. It has become one of our staple meals. We actually just make the shrimp with lemon-chive tartar sauce along with risotto.
