20 Stars! DH, who is a Pasta afficionado rated this as excellent, and that's a HUGE compliment since his "that was very nice" usually means that the recipe gets a 5 star rating LOL. The combination of garlic, butter and fresh basil is simple but totally tasteful and even though I left the shrimp out this time becuase I was serving shrimp as a seperate dish, it was clear that dish dish and shrimp are a match made in heaven. Please see my Rating System: 5 wonderful stars for a dish that will be made in combination with other shrimp dishes and with the shrimp in it as a favourite in our house from now on. A definiate winner! Thanks!

In my world a recipe is a guideline to cooking and can be altered to suit one's taste.
I collect cookbooks for a hobby and have made at least one recipe from each one.
