Loved this pasta dish, absolutely loved it! I was gonna cut it in half for just the 2 of us, but ended up making the whole thing & was so happy that I did, because we really pigged out on this one, probably more than we should have! Definitely a keeper of a recipe that I'll be making again & again until, & unless we get tired of it! But with a recipe this simple & this flavorful, I'm not sure that will ever happen! Many thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in the Almost 5 Special Event]

My roommate and I enjoyed this recipe a lot! Although, I must admit, as simple as this is I am VERY new to cooking and although I followed it exactly and used two cloves of garlic I didn't end up with much of a garlic taste...I would call mine more of a lemon shrimp and peas with linguine :) But still, sooooo goooood! Next time I think i will add some more garlic and possibly some parmesan cheese...mmm... :)

This is great!!! I used a white chardonay for the wine as I had that sitting here calling my name. I used the jumbo shrimp that my DH bought for the recipe it was so good and farafalle pasta. It just gathered the flavors all around it and looked beautiful plated. garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. everything came together quickly and no one would think it is so easy to put together. Great recipe. Made for THINK PINK October 2010
