I made tbis with chicken,not everyone in my family likes seafood. It was excellent, there were definitely no left overs. I think it would taste better with shrimp, I will try it that way next.

A good way to thicken up the sauce is to stir a spoonful of cream cheese into the hot liquid. I used about half as much tomatoes as called for. Also - I prefer to serve the pasta and shrimp on a bed of raw spinach. The spinach wilts just enough, rather than being limp and overdone.

Awesome taste. Will definatley be something I make on a regular basis. Loved it!!!! Couldn't find diced tomatoes, so I used small cut ones, and they were good.

I agree with the previous poster. 1/4 cup extra of dressing does the trick; otherwise, it's way too bland

I loved this recipe but I did add 1/4 cup more of dressing and a little more garlic but overall, I will make this again for sure. Gail

Tasty, Quick & Easy ! 3 things I like best. Used large bag of fresh spinach (love spinach). The dressing adds a nice zip. Will try with chicken next time. Highly recommended.
