Outstanding...I make the dish adding sliced mushrooms and a teaspoon of anchovy paste. This allows you to omit the salt. I dream about this dish in my sleep...it is best with Fettuccine or angel hair pasta

My husband and I really enjoyed this. We substituted 10oz of canned tomatoes, 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, added 1/4 tsp of oregano, 4 cloves of garlic (and would have enjoyed even 6) and used whole wheat angel hair pasta.

This is one of my favorite recipes! I make adjustments each and every time I make it. I am a huge fan of lots of veggies, so in a separate smaller pan I saute green, red, and yellow peppers, mushrooms, yellow & green zuchini, onions in a little olive oil, with some red peppers and hot sauce for extra flavor. Instead of pouring the mix over pasta, I toss everything together and let it sit so that the pasta absorbs the sauce little. I make this once a week!! Delish!

This was excellent. I used Roma tomatoes and a mix of red pepper flakes and fresh chopped jalapeno. If you can get fresh basil - do. The first fork full is just bursting with a tantalizing flavour. There was quiet and then a chorus of Mmmmm as our guests first began to eat. I used an Australian Pinot Grigio to cook with and to enjoy with dinner. Served with a crusty loaf of bread and a green salad. Oh - tip - I only used half the pasta water and still found it a bit too much so removed the shrimp so they didnt' over cook and then simmered over medium heat until the sauce was reduced by half. Happens fast. The flavours just intensified and the aroma was quite tantalizing.

Lovely, light and fresh tasting dish! I sauteed the shrimp separately with the garlic, salt and pepper because I didn't want them to overcook. Added 3-4 garlic cloves and little bit more spice. Will definitely make again!

Wonderful! I didn't even think I was being "cheated" by eating a low fat meal. This was excellent. I used spinach fettuccine and went full throttle and used 2 jalapenos (we like it hot). This was truly a wonderful pasta dish. The shrimp was definitely center stage. Thank you Hope for another wonderful dinner!!!!!

Delicious! I made this once and it was great. Then I made a few changes and it was even better (for us anyway!): vidalia onion (we don't like green). Followed everything else as stated BUT when I added the white wine I also added a few tbs of heavy cream and about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. I thickened it a bit with cornstarch then got it to the perfect consistency adding a little pasta water. We will make this again soon because dh said he LOVED it.

Doubled this recipe to serve 4. The pasta was very easy to prepare. Even though I doubled the other ingredients to serve 4, I used 2 tsp of red pepper flakes like the original recipe called for. Even with this modification, the dish was still very hot and I was glad I did not use 4 tsp (and please note that I like my dishes spicy!!). I agree with the other reviewers that the lemon taste was too pronounced. Maybe halving it next time? My guests thought it was good and said they enjoyed it. Thanks!

Great dish, DH loved it. I doubled the recipe for the family using the red pepper flakes instead of the jalapeno - it was too much kick for me so I will cut that back a bit next time. I didn't have any fresh basil but will be sure to use it next time because I think it would just add to the "freshness" of this recipe.

Wowza! My husband and I really loved this simple and delicious recipe! I used two pounds of shrimp with this recipe and the only thing I changed was instead of using fresh tomato (since we are living overseas and fresh tomatoes are a lot more expensive) I used canned diced tomatoes (about 2 cups). I kept all the other measurements the same even though I used 4x as much shrimp as was called for and it was still fantastic!
