I probably tripled the basil, added salt and pepper, and used Trader Joe's garlic and basil linguini. I also didn't have chili oil, so I added cayenne pepper while the shrimp were cooking. I didn't think it was bland at all!

It was good but it could use a little more flavor, maybe some peppers or something like that.

I had to add cornstuarch to thicken it. Might have even been better with a little lemon rine and some sugar.

I loved this! Made some slight adjustments in quantities - half a box of linguini, 1 pound shrimp, and probably closer to 1/2 cup basil. I used some Thai Chili oil that I had made with grapeseed oil and dried Thai chilis, and upped it to 1 tbsp (because I knew it wasn't super hot), and for the basil I used a combination of Thai and regular basil. I added a pinch of salt and some fresh cracked pepper to taste. Between the succulent shrimp, sweet, tender/crisp snap peas, garlic, wine, lemon, fresh basil and that hint of chili oil that sneaks up on you, I thought this dish had the perfect blend of flavors!

After wasting some costly ingredients. Absolutely did not like this, the pasta was bland and the overwhelming flavor was shrimp and chili oil not enough seasoning to make it palatable as written. Who writes a recipe without salt. Yes there is salt in the water but to season the pasta and sauce with just the pasta water the amount of salt should be included it the recipe... I am not going to waste more ingredients to find out what the measurement should be, there are too many other recipes here that are much better. Lesson learned, 'Never pick a recipe based on a good picture'

I was pleasantly surprised by this GREAT dish! I have a garden and had overload of snap peas and was tired of the same recipes. I saw this & thought I'd try it. It was SO good. I took the advice of others and added more garlic & salt. (I also added toasted sesame oil in place of hot oil and also added about 3T of nutritional yeast (a vegetarian substitute for a cheesy flavor). It was SO good. (I also cooked the liquid down with all the ingredients in it so that the flavor would caramelize.) This recipe is a definite keeper.

I read that this was bland and I did not have any chili oil, so I added chili flakes to the olive oil and I added some fresh ginger. It was NOT bland, it was almost too hot to eat. I would have complained if my husband made it this hot. Next time I wll cut back on the amount of chil flakes I add. I also added carrots, onion and bell pepper. Also I would coat the noodles in oil and wine before serving.

This recipe was good, but I added the following... I substituted edamame for sugar snap peas and used chicken broth instead of the white whine.. I used regular margarine also instead of unsalted butter I doubled them amount of butter as well as lemon juice and garlic. I had read a lot of people say it was bland but with my modifications it was simply delicious :) Thanks for the beginning recipe
