This was a good dish. I have to admit that I didn't have fresh basil, and had to use basil from the spice rack. However, my husband doesn't care for too much fresh basil anyway. I had to add a little salt, some fresh lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to add some flavor to the sauce. I also tossed in some pine nuts. I would have preferred a bit more sauce in the dish. I would probably even double the sauce for a second go around (and I'll use fresh basil, too).

Absolutely delicious...I was looking for a low sodium fast meal and voila..I made this meal and absolutely loved it! I added the hot pepper flakes also...I am going to make some more tomorrow!

This made a terrific meal for a busy weeknight. It went together so quick, and yet the flavors were outstanding - garlic, fresh basil, fresh parsley, butter, shrimp - WOW! It tasted so fresh. The only thing I changed was adding some red pepper flakes - we love things spicy. I don't know why this recipe hasn't been discovered yet, but I'm sure glad I found it. We'll make this one again (and double the recipe).

I only used 1/2 lb. of shrimp, but other than that, made the recipe as stated. The next time, I'll probably use less linguine or double the sauce. DH and I both thought it was a bit dry, but it was delicious.

DH and I loved this so much!!! He finished up leftovers the next morning between "Yums" He suggested we try it with squid also. Sounds like a good idea - it's that versatile!

I have adopted this as one of my signature recipes. It was delicious and my husband loved it. Next time I may just add sun-dried tomatoes to make it my own but this was great. Taste like it was cooked in a restaurant. Very simple but good..

This was a very quick enjoyable meal. Served with a salad and garlic bread. Leftover shrimp is on my salad for lunch.
