I was surprised at how good this actually turned out. My personal adjustments: I cut it down to one serving and used white grape juice in place of the white wine and water. Added crushed red pepper flakes and lemon. I forgot to toss the shrimp into the sauce before combining it with angel hair pasta, so heated the shrimp in the sauce that was clinging to the pot. I used parmesan cheese on top. It was so yummy. Thanks Kimberly D.

I doubled this and there was too much liquid. I think I would leave the water out altogether and use less butter next time. I think a more intense concentration of the flavors was what I was expecting. I added lemon juice, oregano and some red pepper flakes. I also served it with Parmesan cheese at the table. Thanks!
