I'm sorry to say that I found it a little bland. Not sure yet if I'll attempt it again with adjustments.

A nice solid base recipe. I modified it slightly to suit my tastes, but not significantly. Thanks for the other reviewer hints on how to make the shrimp turn out well. I boiled briefly in water with a mixture of paprika and chili powder, then rinsed the shrimp immediately in ice cold water.

Great recipe! I had to alter a few ingredients and I added some but loved this recipe base. I didnt have whipping cream so I used 1% milk thickened with a few tablespoons of cornstarch. I also added 1/3 cup of white wine (flavored with mango and pineapple flavors) and diced up an onion to throw in with a whole stick of butter instead of 6 tbsp. I included basil in my seasoning choices as well.

This is one of those recipes you dream about....too easy to be this good. It was awesome, didn't change a thing. I sent it to anyone I thought would like to try it!!!!!!

Very nice recipe. The only change I made was to add oregano. My family enjoyed it. Thank you!

My family enjoyed this recipe. I scaled to 4 servings (got 5) and used fresh herbs from my garden. The fresh herbs are a must for best flavor. I had jumbo shrimp so I boiled them for about 2 minutes then put in cold water while preparing the sauce. I used leftover grilled chicken for 2 servings and shrimp for the other 3 servings. I did follow the recipe as stated but will try half and half next time to cut down on the calories.

We loved this! I used fat free half/half instead of cream but otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Super easy, rich and delicious!

This dish was excellent and my family enjoyed it. I did make slight changes. I sauteed the srhimp and garlic and added 1 tablespoon of tomatoe paste then added the rest of the ingredients. Prior to pouring over the pasta, I mixed the parmesean cheese into the cream mixture then poured it over the pasta.

We love seafood pasta at Shells in Florida. I'm always asking for the recipe, of course they keep mum. My husband had this Shrimp Linguine today and said it was better than Shells. That is the highest rating in this house. Shells serves it with fresh bread and butter to mop up all the yummy sauce.We don't eat like that at home. We are adding all the other seafood they add at Shells next time-clams,scallops,steamers clams..can't wait. I did add more butter to the sauce because Shells has it floating in butter. How can it not be good? Maybe once a year I'll serve it with fresh bread and more butter!!!Paula Deen would be proud of me..butter and cream!!

Yummy!! I made this dish a few weeks ago to satisfy my hankering for a cream sauce dish (my husband despises cheese and alfredo-type dishes so I rarely make them). Let me tell you that this was fantastic! I did make some minor adjustments to suite my tastes and ingredient availability. First I cooked the shrimp about half-way in the butter & garlic then added the cream, I also added about 3/4 c. whole milk because it didn't seem saucy enough. I subbed dried herbs instead of fresh which kind of overpowered everything so next time I will be sure to use fresh herbs and omit the thyme. I also threw in about 1/2 tsp. of ground red pepper to spice it up. Oh and I added the cheese to the sauce to thicken it then tossed in the linguine. Served with sliced garlic bread...and guess what the husband LOVED it. I am making it again tonight but this time with rotini!

I have made this recipe several times and it is FANTASTIC! It tastes like a pasta dish I used to get from a famous chain steakhouse. My only advice - do not bother to try and make a low fat version of this recipe. I tried to make it healthier (so I could eat more of it!) and it wasn't very good at all. I don't eat this dish very often but, when I do, I splurge and use the full fat ingredients.

This was better than restaurant pasta...I actually used 2 different recipes and combined them together. The difference I made with this one was: 1)I sautéed the shrimp with minced garlic, 1tsp of basil and 1 tsp of oregano,approx 1 tsp of crushed red peppers and sliced white mushrooms. I removed the shrimp after a couple of minutes (so they would not get rubbery). 2) I added 3 chopped roma tomatoes dices and sautéed that to the mixture of butter,mushrooms and spices. 3)I used 2 cups of heavy cream and parmesan grated cheese...I added shredded cheddar cheese (about 1.5 cups-to help thicken up). 4) At this point the sauce was not as thick as I would have liked it, so I whip an egg and added it to the mixture!!! That did the trick!! I added the shrimp to the sauce about 3 minutes before serving on rotini!!! Wonderful for Valentines dinner. My husband really liked it!! Yummy!!!!!

3 as is, 5 with alterations. Quite bland without additions, great base though. Need to add white wine with simmering garlic (5 cloves is best :)). Also added salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and old bay seasoning to shrimp. Used pre-cooked shrimp. Tossed in a handful of good parm cheese (read: not the kind from the green container)with sauce. We enjoyed this for valentines day with a spinach salad and garlic bread. Good thing we both indulged in garlic so we didn't scare each other away with stinky breath!!

I thought this dish was really good. The only reason I did not give it a 5 is because the shrimp did not taste as seasoned as it could have been. I did alter the recipe slightly per a couple of other viewers recommendations. I cooked the shrimp in garlic and butter first but then also used 1/2 and 1/2 and corn starch to thicken the sauce. My 12 year old thought it was good. I could tell she didn't think it was a 5 based upon the fact she did not ask for a secoond plate!!! (LOL). But on the next go round, I will see what I can do to make the shrimp a little more tasty so I can get it to a 5.

It was so good and quick & easy to make. I took Lil Mermaids advice and put in red pepper flakes. My shrimp was not thawed and so I put it in frozen and it made the sauce a bit runny. I could have thickened it up but we were hungry and it tasted just fine. Will make again!
