Just made this for the 1st time....yummy. I would add a little salt/pepper to taste and we sprinkled a little cracked pepper-ummm good. Quick, easy, tasty. good quick recipe when someone drops by and stays for dinner!

I added fresh mushrooms and made it with all fresh ingredients. It was super. I left the tails on the shrimp as I do in other recipes ....no crunching shells ...it worked just fine. I may sauté the shrimp separately next time with a little old bay spice. And I'll make additional tomato cream sauce...land leave off the cheese, just for a change.

This recipe is a regular in our household. It's quick and easy. I use a large electric wok and throw it all together. After prepping it, the dish takes only 15 minutes or so to fully cook. This is one of my husband's favorite meals. It's better than something you'd get in a restaurant. Serve with a salad and some breadsticks....YUM!

Made this for our family and it was a hit! I too read the reviews and used Italian Cream cheese instead of the half and half. Next time I'll add more garlic as we're big fans. Added extra spinach too and it was delish!

.... Glad I took the time to read all of the reviews on this recipe. We did not find it bland, but could imagine many other complimentary flavours. I added some salt, pepper and the 1/2 tsp of red chilis. Next next I will stick to 1/4 ....it felt a bit spicy. Overall, a nice, easy meal. I know that I will use it as a base for many variations.

At first glance, this recipe looks like it's going to be amazing. Thankfully I read the reviews, and I agree that this dish is a bit bland to start. I had to do some tweaking of my own to make this dish really amazing. I recommend adding a little flavor of your own. I would definitely make this one again!

I felt making the dish per instructions leaves the flavor very bland. My husband who is not a very heavy seasoner felt the same way. Couldn't directly put my finger on what was missing, but I would make it again and play around with seasoning.

As good as any seafood restaurant! I took the tails off of my shrimp, peeled and deveined. I also used spaghetti noodles because that's what I had on hand. Simply delicious!

I added some red wine to the tomato mixture and it was delicious. Simple, easy weeknight meal.
