This was a VERY good recipe! It will be a keeper for sure...Only thing I did different was added some peccorino romano cheese to it while the wine was reducing a bit. Yummy, yummy, yummy! It was a bit heavy on the oil and butter, not a huge deal to us or anything but next time I might cut back to 1/8 c. olive oil and 1/2 cup butter and use 1/2 cup of wine to make up for it.

Great, came out just right, though a few tablespoons of butter were enough for me.

This is the first time I have ever cooked, or eaten for that matter, shrimp. I LOVED it! The flavor was really amazing. I used 5 cloves of garlic, italian parsley (fresh) and in a separate pan I sauteed some mushrooms in some olive oil, garlic, white wine, salt & pepper, and added them right at the end. All I had in the house was fettucini noodles, next time I will make sure to use the angle hair as I think it would have been a better match for the recipe. This was a big hit in my house. Thanks for the post, I will be serving this again.

This was fast,easy,tasted excellent, and even looked elegant. I plan to make this recipe again for company. I did add the fresh parsley and fresh Parmesan cheese as suggested by the recipe poster, which I think were essential ingredients. I did not add anything extra, although if you adore garlic, I see no reason why you couldn't add even more. A winner of a recipe!
