This recipe rocks! I added some crushed red pepper and dried basil to Dr. it up a little bit and it was great. Probably the easiest thing I have ever made. I used both cans of tomatoes and thought it was perfect. I wouldn't use any less. Also, i agree, no need for 1 cup of parmesan cheese, but topping your dish with it at the end is a must!

Even with seasoning, this meal was only okay. Might be better with the alfredo as suggested, and I think I'll use chicken if I make it again.

This is a really great homemade recipe that has lot of flavor but isn't hard to make. I only added a few dry seasonings: Salt, pepper, dried red pepper flakes (1/2 tsp.) and dried basil. I don't make many recipes twice - but this is a great quick meal that definitely impresses.

Good, simple taste. The sauce came out very watery. I might drain the tomatoes next time. We also used frozen pre-cooked shrimp, which may have contributed to the liquid. We didn't use a whole cup of parmesan cheese, but it was a nice addition.

This was a bit bland, and I increased the garlic and onion some, added some spices, and increased the wine as well. I also put in some zucchini (chopped into pieces) and decreased the amount of tomato a bit. It just doesn't really have enough flavor for me to love it. I don't think I'd make this again.

This is a great base to start with. It does need seasoning and about double the wine it calls for. Still rather good on its own. I make it occasionally.

This recipe is delicious with the extra Alfredo sauce - thank you for the suggestion! I sauteed mushrooms, garlic and onion in the oil and then added the wine (to taste) and 14.5 oz of well drained diced tomatoes with chile and then the shrimp. It was a little spicy for my taste but after i mixed in some Alfredo sauce it was perfect! Of course some people added crushed red pepper at the table but most of us found it had just the right amount of spicyness.

Great recipe! Every time I dine out, I'm always looking for a good shrimp pasta dish. I was happy to find this recipe! I sauteed mushrooms and green onions along with the onion and garlic. I used a little extra white wine and added in some garlic powder, black pepper and a little crushed red pepper. Once I tossed it with the pasta, I felt that it was still a little bland and missing something. Guess what? I three in 3/4 jar of alfredo sauce during the last five minutes. THe end result = PERFECT SHRIMP PASTA DISH!! Thank you so much for sharing this one!

This is excellent...very light and flavorful. I followed the advice of others and used only one can of diced tomatoes and doubled the wine and garlic. I also added sliced mushrooms, basil, and crushed red pepper. Outstanding!

This was great! Thank you for the recipe! I added yellow squash, fresh basil, and used fresh plum tomatoes (instead of canned tomatoes) because I had these ingredients on hand. I also added crushed red pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder, as other reviewers mentioned. We loved it!

This recipe was super easy to prepare. I used small shells instead of penne, and cooked them just short of being al-dente. I also used frozen shrimp, which ended up making my tomato, onion, garlic, wine sauce watery. However, that was resolved by putting the pasta in the pan with the sauce mix for a few minutes and tossing/simmering the whole lot. I will use this recipe again, but will probably add some broccoli florets for color, and maybe some basil for additional flavor.

This recipe was really great - easy for someone who really doesn't cook too much and very tasty! I made it for my husband as an anniversary dinner and we had a nice bottle of red wine with it. I added some broccoli (which wasn't in the recipe) while the sauce was simmering for 10 min and it tasted great.
