Italian Shrimp and Pasta
We like pasta with Italian tomato sauces, and this recipe is one we make often. It’s heavy on the shrimp and light on the pasta, and that’s the way we like it…we can remember when shrimp was unheard of in our budget, so I guess we’re making up for it now!

Simple, excellent recipe. I used wine instead of broth and recommend more garlic. Also, make sure you have time to let the pasta simmer in the sauce just a bit to let it soak up some of the flavors.
I haven’t tried this yet, but honestly as soon as I saw chicken broth Been Italian all my life, who the hell is putting chicken broth in sugo I made a regular tomatoes sauce as I always do and added shrimp
Made this for our relative from Italy and I think this was the best pasta dish I have ever made. I did make a few modifications like white wine for the broth plus some crushed red pepper flakes for some zing. I also added some capers. The best part was that it gets even better on the second day. PS, nothing left for a third meal.
I wanted to try something different to make with shrimp, I always make it with lemon or lime flavors. This recipe seemed perfect. After thinking that I had all of the ingredients, I didn't. Instead of using 2 cans of diced tomatoes, I used one can and a really small can of tomato sauce. I also used fettuccine instead of angel hair. Based on other reviews, I added some garlic powder and some crushed red pepper. Overall, I would definitely make it again!
No flavor. Followed recipe exactly. Felt like it was a waste of the shrimp.
Good concept....but needs some tweaks. 1). Use csnned diced tomatoes with Basil, Oregano,&Garlic already in the tomatoes. This change alone makes a big difference....( but I use Delmonte brand and NOT Hunts brand...just a personal taste choice ) 2) Saute 1 medium shallot till softened. Add in Garlic....more like 3 cloves. Then add in 1/ 8 th to 1/2 t. red pepper flakes 3) For a thicker sauce add in a few tablespoons to 1/2 C. your fav tomato sauce. See also Pasta Alla Betsy ..pioneerwoman.com.. ( 16 minute meals). or on food network.com for similar and better recipie.. Finally add in some parm cheese. I still use the herbs listed...just a bit more. alsoI add fesh Basil and a little fresh flat leaf parsley chopped at the end.
It was kinda quick and easy but no pizzaz. No flavor. Those were actually my wife's comments when I made it and I agree with her. I won't be making this again.
Great recipe. I added a little pesto to the sauce for extra flavor.
Liked the flavors. We liked the thin sauce for a change. I find some sauces overpower the other ingredients.
Easy and delicious. Previous reviewers are right in saying the sauce is very runny. I tried leaving out the chicken broth and just adding bouillon granules. Really tasty, although still runny. You might try a previous reviewers idea of substituting a can of tomato past for one of the cans of diced tomatoes.
