Good but not great. I was hoping for a more intense flavor than this recipe provided.
Texture was excellent. Color was also quite good. I'll use this recipe again but add more garlic and maybe some boiled-down shrimp stock to intensify flavours.

I added more garlic than called for and my family loved this!!! My daughter is somewhat of a chef and my husband is somewhat of a food critic. Yum!!!

Super easy and super finger licking recipe. I have a picky 18 year old, who ate it so fast I did not even have chance to wash dishes from actual cooking. She said that it was on the par with her favorite Italian place that charges about $14 for a lot of linguine with few shrimps thrown in for a good measure. I am a very inexperienced cook, having my mom cook for us most of the time, but she gobbled it up like it was the best thing on the planet. It was a great success! Thank you.

Very yummy, very easy. Took others advice and used more garlic. I used 1/2 a bulb and I crushed it. I did cook a little too high because my egg yolks cooked too quick so I had small bits of egg threw out my sauce, but it was tasty sauce. I also omitted the shrimp and added seared scallops when sauce was done.

I added a package of pre cooked mixed veg. Cauliflower, carrots and Broccoli. And Ramono grated Cheese. Delish!
