I have made this dish twice now and my family has loved it each time! I served it with garlic bread and salad...YUMMY! The only change I made was adding about 50% more shrimp and using only about 2/3 of the pasta. Then I increased the garlic 100% and added a little more herbs since I put in more shrimp.

Very good and super easy! Only changes I made is I added a little olive oil to the butter so it would brown, and I didn't have any bay leaves on hand, so I left those out. Lots of spice and flavor.
