This was FABULOUS! I don't know someone could say it was blah. We used fresh broccoli and steamed it. Next time, we will increase the sauce by 50%. Regardless, we will be making this frequently as we loved it!

This was so incredibly good I was glad I made the full recipe so there are leftovers (only 2 of us). Creamy and tasty. I followed the recipe exactly. Didn't change anything and I wouldn't change anything.

Was on the blah side Too much cheese, didn't let the butter, shrimp and garlic taste come through. Reminded me of a soup recipe.

I'm new to cooking but I love to try a lot of different things. I loved how my broccoli and shrimp alfredo turned out after using this recipe! I thought there would be an error somewhere in the recipe but if you follow these directions it'll come out perfectly.
