This recipe was quick and easy, but rather dry and bland. I added more olive oil than it called for and doubled the parmesean cheese for flavor. Both my husband and I agreed it would have been better with some kind of sauce. Next time, I'd follow the suggestions to add wine, cream and maybe some halved cherry tomatoes.

I tried this last night, turned out really good, but I made a few changes according to some of the suggestions here. I did steam the brocolli sperately, I added a 1/4 cup of wine and I quarted a few plum tomatos in with the shrimp. I also used frozen cooked shrimp, thawed, which cut time and worked quite well. I used whole wheat penne instead as well and I reduced and thickened the sauce slightly. I was very pleased!

This recipe was delicious! I left out the onion (dh hates it) and sprinkled some onion powder on instead and it was just wonderful.

This was a very easy meal and was liked by all. I used linguini, steamed the broccoli separately and added about 1/4 cup or so of wine. I also used frozen shrimp and it turned out really well.

This is an easy dish to make. I follow the recipe to a "T". I keep the items needed on hand because I find it a quick and easy go to meal.

I make one very similar to this, but I don't use onion, and I steam the broccoli with the pasta instead - I think the flavor of broccoli comes out better, and it stays green and crisp. I also found out you can even use frozen shrimp to make it even faster! Toss it into the butter, give it a shake, and then cover it for a couple of minutes. I keep a bag of peeled shrimp and a bag of broccoli in the freezer for just this recipe - super easy after a long day.

I made this for supper tonight using suggestions from other reviewers. I added about 1/4 cup of white wine and somewhat less of half & half, some chili flakes and I doubled the amount of parmesan cheese. We really liked it. I'll make this again. Thanks for this recipe.

Very simple, but rather bland. I think it would be good with a scampi like sauce and some tomatoes added in, served with a salad and french bread.

I made this last night, and I thought it was just okay. It's easy and quick and reasonably good tasting - but nothing special. I think what it's missing is just a little bit of sauce? It's just dry pasta, broccoli and shrimp tossed together - maybe with a little olive oil or white wine mixed in too it will be better?

This was really good for how wonderfully simple it is. I added red, yellow and orange peppers a few mins after the broccoli, then ground black and white pepper. Next time I'll half some cherry or plum tomatos and add them with the shrimp. The broccoli took about 2 mins longer than stated, and be careful not to add too much pasta. Can't wait to make again. Thanks!!
