Reader Comments

  • "I like to try new recipes, but seldom repeat them unless they are exceptional. This recipe has been repeated many times and is a standard in our house. Anytime I am looking for another way to cook shrimp, I end up turning to this. Generally, I have all of the ingredients on hand and it is easy and very tasty. At first, I didn't think I would care for the combination but was pleasantly surprised. Also, it does not include a lot of high-calorie ingredients and can be done with whole wheat pasta."  — Robin

  • "I doubled the garlic, basil, and green onions and omitted the peas. This was really good and simple and it made a LOT. Make sure to use a large can 28 oz of the diced tomatoes." — Joni

  • "I made this for my family, and we all have different tastes. So, it's rare when we all like one meal. I will definitely be making this again. I used snow peas instead of regular peas and felt this added a nice element for anyone wanting to try something different. Excellent Recipe!" — Greg
