Scrounging for a recipe from what little I had left in my kitchen and came across this. SO glad I did because it's a keeper. Really great flavor. I didn't have fresh basil or shallots but I made due with dried basil and white onion and it still came out great. Can't wait to try with the appropriate ingredients. I threw some red pepper flakes and minced garlic in with the sauce for a little kick too. Delicious!

AWESOME recipe!!! I was skeptical at first, but this recipe is a WINNER! I had to sub and tweak a bit due to what was on hand, but this will nOw be a weekly meal! I used dried tortellini (Fresh Market sun dried tomato and oregano), half parm/half asiago cheese. I added a bit of garlic and spinach to make it a one-pot meal, and it was AWESOME! after tasting, I added a dash of cream just to stretch the sauce, and that didn't disappoint, either! Normally, I make receipes to the letter the first time, this recipe simply kept going and going... if you haven't tried this recipe yet, please do!Thanks for this lovely recipe!!

I made this for my family this evening. There were a few things that I had to add to bring us all towards the same page, but I do love the template:) I added some fresh squeezed lemon juice and a small sprinkle of zest; about four julienned sundried tomatoes (not oil-packed); some additional basil; three cloves of fresh garlic; a dash of cream; and an extra half of a shallot. I added the shallot and basil together as per the recipe, but also added the sundried tomatoes, and garlic at the same time:) Yum! (These shrimp alone were fantastic!) Thank you so much!
