For a special occasion or when company's coming, this delicious seafood dish makes a lasting impression. You'll be surprised at how fast you can prepare it. A mild, fresh-tasting sauce and the Monterey Jack cheese nicely complement the shrimp, I serve it over pasta or rice. —Jane Birch Edison, New Jersey

I used wine for flavor& omitted cheese (less calories) turned out great. Loved by entire family

Flavor is great but I wish the recipe told you how much linguine to use per serving. I cooked a whole box and felt more sauce was needed. The linguine is optional, I know, so next time I make this (and I will!) I might skip the carbs and have the shrimp with sautéed spinach.

Needs more liquid. It came out like shrimp with lumps of cheese.

I made this for my family tonight and it was restaurant quality. I used the wine and I forgot the garlic. I did put some seasoning called Best of the Bay and sprinkled that on it. I will make it again.

I made this tonight for dinner. It had been planned for just my son and I but then my granddaughter joined us for dinner. I doubled the chicken broth and butter but left everything else the same. It was good and my son loved it. If I make it again I will add some Slap Yo Mama to add some heat but not a lot of salt.

Delicious! I also doubled the amount of butter, garlic and white wine for more sauce over the pasta.

SO awful! Way too cheesy! It is not even a sauce, but just a slab on shrimp and cheese, why would you eat that with linguine? I love to cook for my partner and this is the first time he has ever not eaten my food.
