Excellent sauce! I served it over homemade gnocchi instead of linguine (just because I wanted to try it) and sliced up Roasted Pepper and Asagio chicken sausage in it along with the shrimp. Yummy!!

    Really easy to make and great tasting. I had all the ingredients except fo the shrimp in the fridge. I cheated and used the small shrimp already peeled and deveined. I used more since they were smaller. This cut down the prep time but still gave the great flavor. My hubby also loved it and has requested it to be on the menu ... thanks LikeItLoveIt!

    Simple and delicious! We like spicy food in our family, so I added crushed red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. I also used half milk and half cream to reduce some of the calories. Next time I make this I will add some fresh mushrooms. Great dish...thanks for posting!

    Absolutely, unbelievably delicious! My husband and all five kids loved this; they begged me to make it the following week, as well. This is by far the BEST recipe I have found online!
