Happy Shrimp
This was definitely happy shrimp! Happy mouth anyway! I was making it for 5 of us and was glad that I saw others say it didn't make all that much! I doubled it, plus used a whole pint of whipping cream instead of the 2/3 it would have been doubled. There was just enough with one serving left, which I am sure someone will snag for lunch tomorrow! I did not put the basil, tomatoes or green onion in until the cream had thickened. I didn't think those ingredients should cook so long. I put them in right at the end. I added a 1/3 cup parmesan cream and a little pinch of red pepper flakes also. I served it over angel hair pasta. Was amazing!!

Creamy Mushroom Soup
This was sooooo good! Very rich! I read that someone used heavy cream instead of half and half but I think that would have been over kill! I did it just like the recipe and it was wonderful! The only thing was I had to add some more flour and water to thicken it some more because it did't get as thick as I liked before adding the half and half. I served it with sourdough rolls. My family loved it and I will be making this again!

Clam Sauce with Linguine
I read a lot of the reviews on this and really liked what Andrea2289 did and followed her suggestions very closely. It was totally amazing! We had it with french bread that we dipped in the broth. So good! I noticed that a lot of people added cream or sour cream to this. I think they mistakenly thought this was supposed to be a cream sauce?? I added even more chicken stock and clam juice to have more broth for dipping. This is a keeper! A fairly inexpensive nice meal for a large family!
