Delicious! I have a 12-year-old and a 10-year-old, and they LOVED it. I added a can of petite diced tomatoes. Glad I did because I think it would have been very dry had I not. Next time I will double the shrimp.

What a lovely recipe, it turned out to be quick and easy to make and it tasted wonderful. I used a mixture of small pastas and Argentinian Wild Shrimp in this dish, truly awesome. Thank you for sharing this recipe, which we will enjoy again. Made for What's on the Menu? Tag Game.

Very nice dish! I doubled the entire recipe, added some crushed red pepper flakes and added about 8 roma tomatoes. I also added the broccoli with the garlic and onion. Very light and tasty. I squeezed the juice of 1/2 a lemon over it YUM!

Loved this!!!...I didn't have bow tie pasta, and used fettucine... otherwise made it the same as printed...definitely a keeper... thanks for sharing it.

This was wonderful. I was concerned that the onions and garlic were browning too much while the broccoli was cooking - next time I'll start the broccoli before the onions and garlic are fully tender. To help the broccoli along I added a little water to the pan and covered to steam it a bit and it worked beautifully. I added a little lemon juice and a very little bit of hot sriracha sauce to my serving and really liked the additions. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!
