I am perplexed why this didn't meet my expectations. All of the flavors are ones I enjoy, they just didn't come together well in this recipe. Seemed to overpower the shrimp, but underwhelmed the tomatoes, if that makes sense. The tomatoes just seemed to lack luster. Served with whole wheat spaghetti.
