Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

My husband loves the shrimp pasta at red lobster! I made this for him tonight before he got home and he thought I brought red lobster home for him! He was surprised when I told him I had made it.

Easy to do. Used a pound of fresh shrimp. Used too much pasta so I've been forced to eat the left-overs all night. It is that good. People ...let's do more home-cooking, better for our wallets and keeps the family together.

This is a great recipe. I use more lemon juice, garlic and herbs. It is delicious. Anyone who has a problem with this simple recipe just can't cook!
I'm making this tonight and I hope it turns out well. I've read the flour and cream cheese suggestions. If there are any more suggestions, please let me know! Thanks

I think this recipe would have been good, but I did something wrong along the way because my sauce didn't thicken up and my cheese just clumped up and melted on the bottom of the pan. Otherwise I love the flavors.

I posted the picture here and the recipe is great. I had to adjust the quantities slighly up though cause it didnt seem like there was enough sauce for 1 pound of pasta. The sauce is also not thick enough so I add some wondra. But it tasts amazing!

My third time making this recipe it was finally perfected. I reduced the clam juice to 1/3 cup and sprinkled some Wondra quick-mixing flour to thicken the sauce as needed while it was cooking! This is my new favorite shrimp pasta recipe.. and I love to cook, especially pasta dishes!

This recipe is very tasty and has a great combination of flavors. The only disappointment was that the sauce did not thicken at all even with extra parmesan cheese. I would either reduce the cream by half or add about 1 tablespoon flour and cook before adding cream.
For those of you mentioning that the sauce doesn't thicken up: If you use heavy cream, you are supposed to follow the directions on the container; put it in a large bowl and whip it until it thickens, then put it in the freezer for a few minutes. This thickens the heavy cream!

I had Red Lobster last night so I wanted to have a little more shrimp Alfredo to add to my leftovers.. this recipe is definitely NOT the same. I think the lemon juice ruined it a bit.

Very good. I suggest if you like a thicker sauce which I do add wondra flour (comes in blue can in the baking section) add the end. Top with parmesan cheese and addition parsley and serve in big pasta bowls.

This recipe was easy to make and delicious - my husband and I couldn't stop eating it.
When does the lemon juice go in? Very very disappointing. Many ingredients go in without making it tastier, if not worse. Just go with regular, traditional alfredo sauce recipe. Waste of creme, shrimp, and herbs.
What didn't you like about it? More info is helpful to our other viewers.

What a hit this one is with our family! It also saves us mega bucks to be able to make it at home! We normally make the night before and pour over pasta and then serve the next day. We also add parm cheese and a little salt to top it off. Gives it just the right touch.

I went to red lobster a while ago and it tastes exactly the same.Easy to make.

This recipe was fabulous and fairly simple to make. I liked it so much that I'm making it again for my whole family. I definitely recommend it!! :)

I was impressed with this recipe. However, I would suggest using little or no lemon juice, oregano, and basil. These three ingredients are overpowering in the measurements given. Be careful with cooking and reheating the shrimp because they become tough. Sprinkling additional parmesan cheese and parsely is a must once the meal is complete. Enjoy!!!

seasonings were to over powering, did not thicken up very well. Very disappointing, I will not make again

Delicious and very easy to prepare. I substituted half and half for the heavy cream and it was still very good! I love this website.

My family and I will eat at Red Lobster at least 6 times a month so I know Shrimp Pasta and let me tell you it was head on. Oh my gosh, great stuff. Great website!!

This recipe was good, but it definitely doesn't even come close to the original. Needs more garlic.
