Great recipe and I had all the ingredients. Very tasty, although I did add 2 cloves of garlic while sauting the onions

This made for a delicious birthday dinner. I loved the spicy shrimp with the creamy noodles. We usually cook our shrimp with the peels on to add flavor to a dish, but in this case I would peel them first so they stay coated with spices in the final dish. This would be great with noodles or rice. [Made for I Recommend]

Yum, this was easily prepared and delicious. I enjoyed the bite in the creamy sauce, definitely something we will enjoy regularly. I served over rice, personal preference. Thank you, Basque Princess, lovely recipe, made for Spring PAC 2013

I would have given this 5 stars except for the fact that we thought it was too spicy. I would cut the Creole seasoning in half next time. Other than that it was wonderful. I actually got this recipe from another site but it is identical to the 2 posted here. We had it over whole wheat fettucini. I will definitely make this again.
