Wildly disappointing. Don’t waste a lb of prawns on this. Flavorless.

This was soooo good. I did add a little bit more garlic. So healthy. This is a keeper.

It was great for the amount of calories saved...but...it was kind of in need of more flavor. I did not want to add any salt (recipe did not say to), but next time I will add some more different seasonings to bring up the flavor!

Thankyou so much for posting. Made this for dinner, and it was EXCELLENT. Finally a low fat scampie sauce for one of my favorite meals. Hubby even loved it, and he hates chicken, and chicken broth.<br/>UPDATE: Made this with Spaghetti Squash instead of pasta, for an even healthier meal, it was Fantastic. I sprinkled some parmesan on top which really set it off, again Hubby was surprised it was low fat, and that it was made from chicken base.
