WILL NOT MAKE AGAIN!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

ALL THOUGH THIS RECIPE WAS SIMPLY EFFORTLESS, IT PAID FOR IT IN TASTE. OVER ALL THE PASTA TASTED LIKE LEMON, AND WAS VERY... DRY. THE SHRIMP I HAPPEND TO SEASON AND MARINADE IN MY OWN HOME RECIPE WHICH WAS THE BEST PART OF THE MEAL. WONT USE THIS RECIPE AGAIN.Read more

Very simple and tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My kids love shrimp and pasta but nothing to herbal or of course spicy, I didn't have the green onions and I intentionally... left out the heat, which would only make it better, This was a great family friendly, fast weeknight dinner that everyone loved. Oh and I cheated and used frozen shrimp from the bag, too, but fresh would only make it better!!! I like the fact that he included the seasoning recipe for those of us who didn't have Essence on hand but could make their own blend.Read more

Simply Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy it wasn't even funny! Tasted great! I didn't have Emerils Seasoning so I just used "cajun" seasoning-... worked fantastic! And it was beautiful to eat! For the 'dry white wine' I used a Chardonnay. Read more

Best Shrimp Ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We made this with angel hair pasta al dente- and it turned out amazing! One of the best shrimp dishes I have ever had. We... substituted a small amount of white wine vinegar w/water for the wine, and it turned out great! My kids couldn't stop eating it! Its just a tad spicy, but nothing kids can't handle! Read more

Not all its cracked up to be...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I thought that besides the taste of lemon it lacked taste. I was disappointed because this recipe had great reviews. I also... think it tasted a bit better the next day when I had it for lunch. But it is not something I will be making again.Read more
