The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.6 star rating.
Reviewed: Jul. 3, 2008
This was just what I was looking for in the way of a simple but delicious shrimp & pasta. I did use a Chardonnay (3/4 cup)instead of champagne,what I had on hand, but I will try it the next time. (I had a little leftover, and it was just as good the next day w/o the pasta.)Didn't use the parsley but I'm not a fan. Thanks, can't wait to make it again!!

I made this for a family get-together and it was a huge hit. Very nice flavor, and not too heavy (despite the cream). I will definitely make this again.

This dish was very good, although it took me a lot longer than the quoted time. I think I rushed the sauce, so it wasn't very thick, but it made it seem lighter. I will make it again, but I will add some Cajun Bayou Seasoning for extra flavor. By the way, I used the bi-color fettucine instead of angel hair and it was good.

I am giving this recipe 5 stars. I husband raved about it, he LOVED it. I really liked it too. I only was expecting it to be a little creamier, mine seemed too dry. I seemed to have way too much pasta. I measured the dry pasta out on my scale, but after it was cooked up, it was too much for just four people. If I would have bought more cream, it would have turned out perfect. I taste was wonderful. I used Kendall Jackson chardonnay instead of champagne...I will definitely use less pasta and a bit more cream next time. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was a great pasta dish. Of course, I made some modifications. As suggested by a reviewer, you should really have all your ingredients ready to cook right next to the stove. You have to be quick. Also, I didn't have regular champagne so I used the strawberry champagne I had on hand instead. This gave the dish a bit of a sweeter taste and it complemented the tomatoes really well. One last modification, I measured out 1/4 cup of heavy cream first and mixed it in with the fettucine pasta (this kept the pasta from sticking together as I cooked the main sauce).

DELICIOUS! Made this at my weekly dinner with friends, and everyone requested the recipe. Made about twice the sauce, because it's so yummy.

My changes: Omitted the mushrooms (don't like) and shallots (didn't have). Used a touch more than a pound of shrimp. 1 - 14.5 oz can of Diced Tomatoes (with basil, garlic & oregano). Added chopped onion, minced garlic, and Penzey's Pasta Sprinkle. Me & the girl liked this - I thought it got better with each bite. However, husband thought the sauce was "bitter" and proceeded to pick out the shrimp to eat that alone. (And, because the boy was watching and listening: He decided that he wasn't keen on it either) Ah, at least there was some champagne left over so we could enjoy a couple mimosa's.

I just made this recipe tonight and it was wonderful. My fiance' asked to put it on the short list for pasta dishes. I let it thicken up a little more than the recipe so didn't have a thinning problem like others. The flavors are very good.

I tried this expecting alot more. Not what I expected. It was good but not great. I would not make it again because there are other pasta recipes I liked better. I did not find the sauce got thick at the end, so I added alittle bit of milk and cornstarch and helped.

DELICIOUS!! This recipe was super easy and so so good. I used extra mushrooms and tomatoes, and added fresh garlic to the mushrooms. The sauce didn't thicken as much as I would like so I added a handful of grated Italian cheese and it thickened right up and gave great flavor. Added fresh basil to the pasta. This was awesome!

Made this for our Valentine's Day dinner and it turned out PHENOMENAL! If you are considering making this, let me tell you, you MUST! This tasted just like something out of a restaurant. My recommendations: - Splurge and get fresh uncooked shrimp, it's well worth it. - I added about 1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms. My hubby said they were small enough that he couldn't tell they were even in it. Don't skip that as it offers good flavor - When I sauteed the 'shrooms, I added about 3 cloves chopped garlic. - I used four large plum tomatoes. - Added two more garlic cloves to the champagne mixture. -Added extra cheese, as we love our cheese. -Didn't use the entire box of angel hair pasta. Probably about 3/4 of it. Like others, I recommend having all the ingredients prepped as it is a fast process and better to have everything ready to throw in.

If I make this recipe again, I will use fresh shrimp and not frozen. The shrimp had no flavor. I also used a whole box of angel hair pasta. Too much pasta and not enough sauce. I do think basil and garlic would be tastier ingredients vs. the parsley and shallots. I may try again in the future
