I made this for dinner last night and it was amazing. Used chicken because I don’t like shrimp, and added a tablespoon or so of chopped sun-dried tomato. So good!

Delicious recipe! Unlike other cream sauces it was light and flavorful. I followed everything exactly and just added a few spices to my liking. Such as garlic powder, roasted red pepper flakes, freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Some people said it felt like it was missing something so I would recommend adding a few more flavors. I also used an immersion blender to smooth the sauce out before I added the cream. I hate lumps and like a smooth sauce so my trusty stick blender beat up the remaining garlic and onion to make a perfect consistency. I made this for my boyfriend and best friend and they both loved it. I still think I will add more ingredients and do a few things differently but this is a fantastic recipe!!! Thanks!

I made this with spiral sliced zucchini instead of pasta and it was great, perfect for low carbers!

I love this! I make it all the time, but with chicken instead of shrimp (I’m just not a shrimp fan). It’s the closest I’ve found to my favorite dish from a restaurant back home.

This was glorious! A delicious dinner that felt like an exotic treat and took next to no time to put together!

I love this recipe! Unfortunately I’ve developed an allergy to shrimp since finding this recipe so I made an alteration- instead of the shrimp I use 2 cups cooked, chopped chicken. It still tastes wonderful and makes great leftovers.

I loved it, but my little kids were not quite to keen on the taste of it. It is more of an adult flavor. But yes it was soooo good!! The combination of the shrimp and penne and sauce was just great! This is a special dinner I will make for when it’s just a weeknight for “me.” Love it!

I made this and brought it work one day…my friends could not believe that I made this. They swore it was from a restaurant. It tasted so incredibly good!
