Fresh tomatoes and basil are available year-round. That's good news, because this creamy shrimp pasta shouldn’t be enjoyed only in summer.

This was a great and simple dish to throw together after work. The only thing I would suggest is squeezing the tomatoes of any excess water. It had a wonderful homemade and fresh flavor. It was delicious!

I made this tonight and it was delicious! I doubled the cream cheese and kept the juice from the shrimp to make more sauce. I also used low fat cream cheese and whole wheat pasta to make it healthier. I also thought it tasted like a restaurant seafood dish. So easy too. I will definitely make this again.

I made this tonight, it was very good. I didn't have fettucini so I used whole wheat spagetti, I also cooked the shrimp in the juice fom the vinagrette and the juice from the shrimp. I am glad I did, it made a great sauce. Next time I will use whole wheat fettucini.

Good flavor but dry. It just wasn't saucy enough.

My husband and I liked this recipe. It was easy to make however, it was kind of bland next time I'm going to add in some peppers or something to give it a kick. Other wise it wasn't bad.
