Well, I'm in the minority on this one. I used only half the cilantro and didn't put in the onions. I used the Toasted Sesame Asian Dressing and think spaghetti because I don't like the texture of angel hair pasta. I can't get any taste at all. Kinda feel like it was a waste of my beautiful shrimp. I had thought of frying t all and now have read in the reviews someone did that. That may release the flavors. Also, I will let it sit overnight and that may help also.

Perfect as a main dish or side dish! I served this warm - I mixed it all together immediately after draining the pasta (I didn't rinse it in cold water) - and it was delicious. The warm noodles combined with the cold crunch of the slaw beautifully. It's easy enough for a "throw together" dinner but is visually elegant enough to serve for company. This recipe's a keeper!

This may be the best shrimp recipe i have ever made!! i threw in veggies and shrimp in pasta water for about a minute after to warm up-and the cilantro was left out as the store had none and it is out of season. fantastic!!

The only thing I change in the recipe was I used fresh Parsley for the cilantro as I don't like the taste of cilantro. I used the Kraft Light Toasted Sesame Asian dressing.. Delicious, It is now on my summer menu forever!Next time I might toss in some slivered almonds and some mandarin oranges for a change of ppace.Peggy

I cooked the shrimp myself (just sauteed in a little amount of olive oil with some pepper and garlic powder). I served the dish hot (as my husband is a little hesitant about cold pasta). Delicious and easy!
