I can't believe that I haven't reviewed this in the past. I have made it several times, and the first time I made it following the directions exactly. It was good as is, but I found it to need a little kick. When I made it tonight, I added some Old Bay seasoning to the shrimp as they were cooking. Perfection.

I just made this recipe for the first time this evening and I have to tell you it was as good as advertised.Followed the directions exactly with the exception of adding cherry tomatoes sliced in half and it was delicious. I highly recommend trying this recipe it was super easy (quick) and delicious.

My picky brother loved this dish. In fact, I am here to print out my own copy of the recipe since he scoffed up mine! I did use 1 cup of chopped broccolli instead of peas. Next time I will use peas, but add romano/parm cheese to taste

Excellent. Tasty and fairly quick. I doubled the amount of thyme and used butternut squash ravioli.

Good. I used a 20 oz package of tortellini with the same ingredient measurements and tasted great. Difference was I added the shrimp to the large of pasta after straining the pasta.

My family liked this. It was quick, easy, and very tasty. The only change I made was to add 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the skillet when I added the tortellini.
