Delicious! Added spinach, mushrooms and artichokes that I had in the fridge/pantry which really made it a special dish! Will definitely prepare again!

So delicious and fresh tasting! This is a real winner. The seasoning, wine, lemon and butter really made the dish. I would probably use less butter next time though. I omitted green onion, didn't have it on-hand and used angel hair pasta instead and smaller-sized shrimp.

This was delicious! I love how it doesn't take long to prepare and doesn't require a lot of ingredients yet it has a very full flavor and you can make it as spicy as you want with the garlic and pepper. Very filling too. It goes great with garlic bread and white wine. Can't wait to make it again!
