Didn’t have shrimp, used chicken instead and it was still good. Can I do that?
Yum! I used whole wheat pasta instead, and it was healthy and filling!
So easy to make in one pot. I could whip this up on a weeknight without a problem.
It looks good, but shrimp is too fishy for me. But the one-pot idea is cool!
I made this last night and it was a hit! So simple and delish. Definitely going to add it to my weekly meals!
Not bad, but I found it a bit too creamy for my taste.
I tried this for dinner and my kids ate it all! Definitely a win!
This was absolutely delicious! The lemon really brightened it up.
Totally agree! The lemony flavor made it so refreshing. Will definitely make again!
Simple and quick to make. I will make it again! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
It looks good, but I thought it needed more flavor. I added some parmesan, and it helped a bit.
Simple and quick. Although, I get confused between heavy cream and sour cream sometimes 🤔.
Doesn’t shrimp take longer than that to cook? Mine was still kinda raw.
I don’t like seafood so I left the shrimp out. Still okay but just pasta with lemon sauce.
This was so delicious! The flavors were perfect together, and my family loved it! Will make again for sure!
Sounds great but I’m not sure about using shrimp. Can I use chicken instead? Will it taste the same?
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s one of my favorites too! The lemon really brings out the flavor!
I used penne instead of spaghetti. Tasted fine to me! 👌
Too much garlic for my taste. Had to add yogurt to tone it down. Will try less garlic next time.
I think garlic is essential for this recipe! But I get it, it’s not for everyone. Yogurt’s a smart move to balance the flavors.
I’m not a fan of shrimp, but my husband loved it! He said it was the best pasta he ever had.
