Great recipe... so easy. Grab a loaf of french bread at the store and dinner comes together like a breeze.

We have made it twice with shrimp and was excellent both times. This will be one of our regulars.

I used zesty italian dressing. I sub shrimp for cubed chicken. I added green onions that I needed to use up. To spice it up, I sprinkled some red crushed pepper. It was delicious and all the girls enjoyed it too.

This is one of my favorite recipes. I make it for company all the time. Add some Garlic bread and it taste like you are at an Italian restarante. My picky husband loves it.It takes no time at all to fix either.

Easy, elegant, and delicious - I could ask for nothing more. I used fresh, shell-on shrimp and they cooked up beautifully on the recipe's timetable.

Easy recipe. Only problem is, they don't make the red pepper dressing anymore, but i justed used an Italian dressing and it worked perfectly.

This was good warm, and tried it as a cold pasta salad with leftovers. Also good. Not soupy at all like some of the other comments said. Followed the recipe, so not sure of the difference.

The sauce on this did not thicken at all and was more like tomato broth. I added some cream but it did not help. It was almost like shrimp soup with pasta. The flavors were fine, it was just a disappointment. Will probably not make this again.

I made this about 2 weeks ago for my fiance SOOO good! I did change a few things based on other recommendations I saw. I used Kraft Italian style dressing as I couldnt find the kind they recommend either. I also used diced tomatoes with garlic & oregeno, I used raw shrimp and threw it in with the tomato. I also added portabella mushrooms & some thin sliced chicken seeing as my fiance eats like a cow! So good-its been requested for dinner again tonight!
