  1. Delisten REVIEW:

    Thank you for sharing the recipe. I tried it yesterday for my daughter’s seafood theme birthday dinner. It turned out great!!! I did not change a thing. I wish that I could really rate the recipe a 100 on a scale of 1-10.

  2. LolaW REVIEW:

    This was really really good. I did change the milk to cream ratio....I cup of 2% and 1 cup of cream. I also used artichokes instead of broccoli. Loved it.

  3. Morgyn REVIEW:

    This rocks! I've made it about 6 times now. I substituted a can of 2%evaporated milk for the milk and cream, steamed the broccoli for 3 minutes then added it to the saute pan with the shrimp and garlic.

  4. Melissa REVIEW:

    I highly recommend this dish! Easy and fast to prepare, delicious! Even our two year old loved it.

  6. Scott REVIEW:

    I used 1lb. of fettuccine instead of angel hair, which was great. The broccoli should be steamed or boiled before. Another batch of sauce should be made.

  7. Brittany REVIEW:
