Shrimp, Tomato, and Basil Pasta

I think this recipe is perfection! This pasta dish is delicious and very simple! I originally made it with pre-cooked shrimp and in that case I just marinaded the shrimp, some garlic, and basil for about an hour before I started the actual cooking for this dish. It was really delicious and fresh tasting (and it was a huge hit at my house)! - Thank you for this great dinner!

Sorry. More comments from my below review: -Be generous with garlic, salt and pepper. Try taking the raw seasoned shrimp, put in a Zip bag with 3 tbl of olive oil and more minced garlic; shake and marinate about 30 min before cooking. -Use a PINCH of cayenne pepper & 2 or 3 shakes of hot red pepper flakes. Gives BIG boost in flavor w/0 making hot spicy. -Add basil and cherry tomatoes at beginning of sauce. Also adds significant flavor boost. -Cook sauce more than 15 min if too watery

This recipe is fantastic. I made a few adjustments. The very first time it was a bit watery so I let the sauce boil out longer. ALSO: My additions to the sauce: * Cayenne pepper * Red pepper flakes * 2 more garlic cloves, minced I also added tomatoes and basil at beginning of making sauce. It adds a LOT more flavor to the sauce as it cooks and tomatoes are softer. The red pepper and PINCH of cayenne adds a bit of kick and a much more flavor w/o making it spicy hot. This recipe is great!!

I usually trust Martha Stewart recipes but this was very disappointing. Do not try it. It was so watery that it was like eating soup.

Although a good start, I found this too watery and bland for my taste. The second time I added sauteed diced onion and reduced the water by 3/4 and added a 1/4 cup of white wine. That brought it to the level of flavour I prefer.

I made this last night. I needed something to make with shrimp in a hurry for dinner. I didn't have cherry tomatoes, so I cut the water in half and used only a can of Aylmer Accents tomatoes with celery, green peppers and onions. I doubled up the garlic and added a splash of white wine and I must say this is my new in-a-hurry meal! It was absolutely delicious and it really did take only 30 minutes!

I have to say - I was really disappointed with how this came out. I tried to double the sauce, which may explain why it didn't work so well. I found the sauce to be very watery versus just a light sauce. It seemed so simple, but really didn't come out well for me.

GREAT recipe :)))) even I made to perform like a pro :)))) amazing taste!!!!!!

I made this 2 nights ago and it was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed it with a lovely bottle of French Chablis. I'm looking forward to making this again!

we tried it with fettucine and extra 1/2 pound shrimp. very tasty.

Love this dish! So good.

Love this dish! So good.

Easy to make! Husband loved it. I would add more basil or garlic to give it more flavor.

real simple and looks delicious ... I would add other veggies too ...

add 1 cup white wine 1cup chix stock instead of water yum

This sounds delicious and easy ill try it this weekend! thanks

My family won't eat the diced tomatoes in pasta, so I used crushed tomatoes instead. Also added black olives in place of the cherry tomatoes. It was wonderful.

We've made this numerous times and it is always a hit. Whole wheat spaghetti substitutes well for the linguine. Make sure you have lots of crusty Italian bread for dipping!

Family loved it. I used Italian style diced tomatoes and substituted red wine for 1 cup of water. I also added half the cherry tomatoes and a quarter of the basil while simmering. I'll definitely make again.

Made this lastnight! LOVE IT! I'm eating it for lunch too!!

very yummy!!!!

very yummy!!!!

I tried this last night and it was great. A couple of pointers, I only used 1/2 the can of tomotoes and all the juice. I did not add any water. It was delicious. Try adding some scallops and clams and it will be even better.

i made this last night as a side to chicken stuffed with cheese, tomato, and basil (the recipe can be found on here) this was very yummy and the presentation was beautiful. when i make this again i will probably only add about a half of a cup of water to the diced tomatoes because the sauce was a little watery for my likings. overall this was very tasty!!!
