This was really good. I used a merlot because that was what we had on hand, whole wheat spaghetti, and also substituted basil for tarragon as another reviewer has said. My shrimp were already cooked, although they took on a sort of purple-ish color and didn't look like the pictures, probably because of the wine we used. Even so I thought it was really delicious!

    Dh really enjoyed this dinner. I would have preferred a little more sauce but the flavor was very appealing. Next time I'll just double the sauce ingredients.

    No Lambrusco here....used cabernet savignon. But whatever the wine this dish was terrific. I had no tarragon so after researching found I could substitute basil. Definitely a keeper. I love shrimp and pasta together. I served broccoli to complete the meal. mmmmmmmm
