I made this on Monday for dinner and this was fast, delicious & very easy to make. I did use already cooked shrimp and steamed the sugar peas before adding to everything else. My husband & daughter loved it; even my daughter's boyfriend liked it. I just finished off the rest of it for lunch on Wednesday and my daughter took some for lunch at school also. This will be a keeper and will be made at the very least twice a month. I did use powdered garlic as I was out of garlic but it was great anyway. This will be a recipe that I will give to my daughter when she moves out on her own. I will also give it to my son who lives in Florida as they have 5 children and it looks like it will be easy to double for a larger family.

Love this recipe. I used some frozen cooked shrimp that I thawed and throwed in at the end. I also used a bag of frozen sugar snap peas (the kind to be steam cooked in the bag) and just cooked them in the microwave about half the time suggested and threw them in at the end also. I did not add the lemon peel, but thought this delicious without it.

Very good. I like sauce, so I added the whole bottle of dressing, and added some lemon juice as well. Then a little salt and pepper, and it was delicious.

Didn't have some of the ingreds, so put my own twist on it.. used jarred roasted red peppers, tomatoes and fresh spinach (that I wilted in with the pasta after it was drained). I also added some fresh jalapeno for a kick, which my husband thought gave it it's great flavor.

Used some toasted cashews for crunch. Great recipe.

This was delicious! I used thin spaghetti with this recipe and it worked very well. My family enjoyed the flavors of the garlic, shrimp and red pepper.

I love this recipe! My husband can have it with shrimp and I can have it without! It so simple that we both can have what we want with added work.
