Tasty but dry - I cut the recipe in half because there are only 2 of us, and there didn't seem to be enough sauce for the noodles. I will try again without dividing the sauce measurements. It did taste amazing though.

This was good, but it needed something else, like many other reviewers I would agree it needs garlic, and lots of it. I used white grape juice instead of wine and it worked surprisingly well. Overall this dish was tasty, easy to make, and very pretty. The cilantro in it worked really well with the light sauce. I'll make again but with some modifications.

This was an interesting dish - very light flavors of lime and cilantro. I think next time I might use one shot of tequila instead of the white wine. I also added 2 cloves of garlic per earlier reviews. I honeslty think the tequila would make a huge difference. I wil have to try that and re-review. UPDATE: So I added two garlic cloves, one small yellow onion, upped the wine to 1/3 c. and the cayenne to 1/4 tsp. I also used the juice of two limes. THIS WAS SOOOOOOOO good! I am increasing my score of the recipe from 3 to 4 stars.

I loved it!... Exactly what I was craving!... All the flavors blended perfectly! Zesty lime, buttery/wine, spicy cayenne, fresh cilantro!... Yum! I feel like I'm doing a comercial. lol... I added 2 cloves of minced garlic to it and I doubled the sauce. I sprinkled a little bit more cayenne over the dish when I served and it looked pretty! The sauce was a bit thin looking, but who cares it tasted wonderful! I'm sure that you could thicken if you wanted to. My husband requested more shrimp in it next time too! Other than that I'd say Supendous!!! Second review... We had it tonight and I made it my same way; doubled the sauce, but didn't have wine so I substituted a few shots of tequila with water to equal the 1 cup. I also added some immitation crab meat and it came out great! Note: Without enough salt, this will taste bland!

I had to make some adjustments because of what I had on hand. First of all I didn't have cilantro so I added dried parsley & sage, I used lemon juice instead of lime, and added a pinch more cayenne pepper. I also followed others suggestions to saute some onion & garlic. I increased the liquids to make it saucier to accommodate for so much noodles but once I follow the recipe I don't measure any of the additional ingredients but I probably used close to a cup of white wine & 3 tbsp of lemon juice. Even with my modifications it was really good and I look forward to trying this again with cilantro. One last thing- I used precooked shrimp and next time I will just toss them in with the pasta & let it all sit for a few minutes to heat the shrimp through. Cooking them separately resulted in overcooked shrimp but that was pretty much my own fault. A+ recipe and fast! Thanks

This recipe was really good. I added minced onion and garlic and used red pepper flakes since I didn't have any cayenne pepper. Thanks for sharing!!

This was an easy recipe, but I would suggest not using just any white wine because the sauce will come out sweet - a Sauvignon Blanc is drier wine (which I would recomend) rather than a Reisling or Chardonnay and I used lemon instead of lime.. It was a nice light pasta with a kick..

Good, but don't know if I will make it again. A very different mix of flavors, that I'm not sure were complimenting. So overall, it was okay, but not my family's favorite.

This was very good ... I added mushrooms, onions and fresh garlic ... had to triple the sauce and added far more cayenne than it called for along with crushed red pepper flakes ... we like things very spicy ... I also used fresh scallops along with the shrimp ... we'll be making this again, it was easy and very good!

This was a nice light pasta. Great flavor and a nice change from our usual pasta recipes. I used 3/4 box of whole wheat linguine and added 1 clove minced garlic and 1/4 of an onion. Turned out great!!

Giving this 4 stars because I made a lot of modifications (5 stars with mods :)). I only used 1/2 pound of pasta. This just isn't enough to cover a pound. I use 1 Tbsp of butter and 2Tbsp of olive oil instead of 3 butter. Before adding the shrimp to the butter/oil, I sauteed 1/2 diced onion, 1/2 diced red bell pepper and 2 minced cloves of garlic. I also added some oregano and increased the cayenne. This was a quick and easy meal.

Awesome recipe, thank you so much for sharing it. Our pasta turned out a little on the dry side, so I mixed up more of the wine/cilantro sauce & added it in. My son loved it and he's pretty picky. Our shrimp were very fresh and turned out great. I wouldn't change any of the ingredients, just add more sauce. Yummy Yummy Yummy!!!!

This is a great recipe! I was in a crunch to get something ready for supper, and I came across this and I'm now so glad I did. I tossed this with farfalle instead of fettucine(the kids like the bowties) and threw a few dashes of garlic, minced onions, oregano, and parsley into it and cut back on the cayenne a bit(my 3 yr old is the only one of our kids that likes food spicy). Then I tossed in some steamed mixed vegetables and voila! The kids loved it! My 5 yr old has now insisted I make it for his birthday!
