I modified this for keto diet as follows (6g net carbs!): Instead of deglazing with white wine, deglaze with 1tbsp vermouth + 1/4 c vodka. Instead of pasta, spiralize 2 med zucchini. Add zoodles to stock/wine/vodka mix and cook with lid on for 5-6 minutesthen remove and plate. Add package of fresh baby spinach and cover to wilt. Warm cream cheese in microwave so it mixes easier. Add cream cheese to all ingredients (except zoodles). As soon as everything is warmed and mixed, spoon over zoodles. Great flavor!

We thought this was okay. I followed the recipe using 2 T garlic and used mostaccioli. My spinach didn't wilt with the hot pasta for some reason. We plan on trying it again, using frozen leaf spinach or pre wilt the fresh. And I will add more garlic, less pasta (I have ton left over!) and maybe a bit more wine. There wasn't much sauce so may not cook as long after adding the broth and wine. Main flavors that stood out for us were the shrimp and spinach.
