This was absolutely delicious! Even my picky eater commented on how good it was. I followed the recipe without any major changes. The shrimp looked done after about 6 minutes and that was only on medium heat. My sun-dried tomatoes were very dry so I added them with the clam juice for the last 3 minutes of cooking. I did not have fresh lemon so used lemon peel from a jar and soaked it in a tablespoon of lemon juice to reconstitute it. I added salt and pepper but when it got to the table felt it needed a bit more salt and I am not a heavy salt user. When I poured everything together it looked a bit soupy but I let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving and it was just perfect. Thanks for such a delicious and EZ recipe!

A very rich, yummy lunch. I was a bit surprised by the liquidity of the dish at the end (my noodles were swimming in the butter/oil/juice blend). I thought the lemon was perfect, giving it a nice fresh zip without being overpowering. I also thought the amount of garlic was perfect. I could not really taste the sundried tomatoes or parsley in the dish, even though I followed the recipe exactly. These might need to be increased for future reviewers. Thanks for posting.

Very godd, very clean and light tasting. Followed the directions almost to a T. I added a little more butter and tossed in fresh sundried, home sundried tomatoes at the end with the noodles. It definately made it shine! Thanks again.

Oh this is yummy!!!!! No heavy cream sauce, like other recipes. I did do a couple of things different, I only used a half bottle of clam juice and the zest of a whole lemon rather than the rind. The cook time can be cut back a bit, the shrimp was almost over cooked. This a keeper!!!
