This recipe is a real winner. You get pasta, fresh veggies, good for you and tasty garlic, even guilt free cream cheese! I mean, really, what else could you ask from one recipe? But if you need more just add to all of that that it's simply delicious and it has shrimp, whoohoo. I really can't see any reason why this wouldn't be enjoyed by every member of the family.
