Good stuff. This is very easy and simple to make. Only things I have to say are 1. I added a splash of lemon juice to the sauce. Yums. 2. It needs a bit more spice. Maybe some pepper in the sauce as well as on top, or extra onion and garlic... something. I have very bland taste, but this was too bland as is, even for me. 3. I agree with a previous comment about removing the shrimp after the 1 minute, and adding back in after the sauce has thickened. But all in all, a very good recipe. I will make again I'm sure. Thanks.

Excellent recipe!! You can always use flour if you want to thicken it.

I used jumbo shrimp that I cooked separately for 5 minutes in boiling water. Then added the shrimp to the half & half/butter mixture and poured everything over the cooked pasta. Easy and good. Would make this again.

I have made this several times and it is always a hit. I used the suggestion of cooking the shrimp and then the sauce. This works well. I added the shrimp back in about two minutes before I served the meal.

After some personal tweaking...this was delicious! DON'T overcook the shrimp. Fry it in the butter/onion/garlic until just cooked. Set aside. Pour 1 cup half and half, 1 half cup white wine and 1 tbsp of lemon juice into pan and stir constantly. (This heats up fast so keep stirring!) Add parmesan cheese to sauce as you are stirring(constantly!). Pour over cooked pasta, garnish.

I made this recipe and my picky bf loved it! I changed it just a bit by doubling the sauce, cooking the shrimp seperate and then adding it right before serving. Also, I added breadcrumbs to thicken the sauce and a pinch of crushed red peppers for an added kick. It was wonderful!!!

A very rich sauce, the secret to thickening the sauce is toss a handfull of Ramano cheese and seasoned breadcrumbs. If you like a little heat to the bland sauce I added a few red pepper flakes and cajun seasoning when cooking the shrimp. Do not over cook shrimp. A keeper recipe.

My family liked this. I did make changes made. I used whipping cream instead of the half and half,used a 1/3 cup of red wine-instead of the white wine ( that what I had on hand), seasoned bread crumbs to thicken and touch of lemon and parsley. I used everything else in the recipe. I will make this again...or some variation.

I have to agree, this recipe was quite bland. I added some Old Bay seasoning to give it some taste. Probably would not make again.

It was wonderful. I did take others advice and cooked shrimp in different pan than the sauce. I also doubled the sauce recipe because we like a lot.

Used fat free half and half and added a little cornstarch...I don't like parsley and the BF doesn't like lemon. Thought it tasted pretty good. Had no linguine so used thin spaghetti.

Don't waste your time making this. The sauce did not thicken. You are better off buying alfredo sauce in a jar and adding shrimp.

My husband thought this was very bland, but 5 yr old daughter loved it and asked me to make it again. I was in the middle; didn't love, didn't hate. I think I will try other shrimp pasta recipes. If I don't find a better one, I will doctor this one up.

Good but better when i added a chopped roasted red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms & 1/2 cup white wine. I also used 1/2 heavy cream & 1/2 cup chix broth instead of the 1 cup half & half; this made a richer tasting sauce.

I made this last night. It was phenominal. I did however alter it just a bit. I used an entire onion, about 4 or 5 cloves of garlic and I used 2 cups of the half and half as opposed to the 1 cup that the recipe called for. Also, I sauted the shrimp in a seperate skillet using just a bit of butter and then added it to the sauce of the last 2 or 3 minutes of the cooking time. This came out amazing. I will definately be making this again.

This recipe is amazing! Very few ingredients and bursting with flavor. I did remove the shrimp from the pan after sauteing them to keep them from over cooking. The next time I make this I am going to make half more sauce. I just used a sprinkle of black pepper and a little salt but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I can't recommend this one highly enough. I wish everyone would try it.

I LOVED this. It was as good as any restaurant. I used large shrimp because they were on sale. I also used a little bit of flour and parm. cheese at the end to help it thicken faster. Yum. My whole family liked it!
