A little more prep time than I usually like, but totally worth it. The sauce had so much flavour we both said we'd have liked it just as well, if not better, without the shrimp. The amount of wine and stock seemed like a lot and mine didn't appear to thicken, but once everything was mixed together some soaked into the penne and the sauce was perfect. The only change I made was to double the chilli flakes, and I used vegetable stock in place of the chicken broth. Will make again, with and without the shrimp.
