.... 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 made this tonight. I really liked it but substituted the shrimp for diced grilled boneless chicken breast (Husband has seafood allergy) And it was delicious. Plan to make it again and again for dinner. My favorite new recipe.

I was pleasantly suprised how easy this was to make. The taste was very good too! The sauce thickens up a little the longer it sits. Next time I will add more cheese.

Great recipe and easy to make. Just needed some more vegetables. I think I would add some artichokes and some mushrooms next time. Will make again.
