I'm sorry to say that we didn't enjoy this dish. The flavor of the shrimp was good, but the breadcrumbs were an issue for us. They soaked up all the liquid and was a mushy mess, which resulted in flavorless pasta. I believe that even if had used other breadcrumbs we still wouldn't have liked the texture and the bland, tasteless pasta. I may take another stab at preparing this dish while leaving out the breadcrumbs and allow the flavored butter/oil coat the pasta. Thank you for your recipe. I'm always interested in trying new recipes.
