  1. This is an outstanding dish. All of the flavors worked beautifully together. With the spinach it is differen't from other scampi' that I have had. Loved the green with the pink of the shrimp. Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. You can bet I will be using this one again.
     
  2. Quick and easy to make. Great taste sensation. I used fettucine in place of the linguine. The red pepper flakes gives this dish a nice 'zing' Thanks for posting. =)
     
  3. I thought this was wonderful. Here are the changes I made: I used almost a pound of whole wheat fettucini. I added extra garlic--about 3 very large cloves. It took a lot longer than 5 minutes for the mushroom-water to evaporate. Since my shrimp was already thawed, I added the shrimp and spinach at the same time. I went heavy on the cheese and red pepper. I also threw in about a tablespoon of butter when the mushrooms were cooking. I thought this was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. Good going!
     
  4. I followed the recipe as written and was disappointed. The pepper flakes added a little bite but the dish was still rather bland.
     
  5. I found this recipe in Favorite Brand Name Fresh Foods and it sounded very quick and easy. It lived up to my expectations. This was reduced to 2 servings and fettuccine used in place of the linguine. Next time around, I will try this with angel hair.
