I only changed one thing - 1 cup half&half and 1 cup heavy cream (in place of 2 cups heavy cream). I did add a bit of corn starch to thicken. Was fabulous. All the family loved this -- even me, and I don't generally care for shrimp! Might experiment with a bit more pesto next time, but isn't necessary. Served over linguine with a Caesar side. Yum! Edit: I made this again, and it still ranked five stars, but I've decided I need to add even more pesto than I implied above. Either that, or it needed salt. Not sure, but one or the other - or both - is needed. ANOTHER EDIT: I made this again last night, but I didn't have time to go buy pesto. Instead, I made the sauce exactly from this recipe, but when it came time to add the pesto, I used two packets of Shillings "pesto sauce mix" I had on hand. My family loved it!! - possibly more so than with store-bought "fresh" pesto. So, if in dire straights for pesto, packets work very well, or even better. (I suspect this depends upon the quality of the fresh pesto. I plan to make my own and see if it makes a difference next time.) **Added note: My kids droop when I tell them we're having shrimp for dinner - but totally perk up when I tell them it will be "Creamy Pesto Shrimp!"
