    This was absolutely delicious and easy. I did add some garlic (2 cloves) and a little of the pasta water when I added the spinach. I am definitely going to make this again. - 7/9/08

    There was no visible sauce, so it had very little taste. I would double the broth & lemon juice if I made it again. - 3/8/10

    Tried it an loved it. I added garlic and left out the capers. I also used the shrimp peels to boost the flavor. I gently boiled them in the broth then strained. Sprinkled a wee bit of low fat parmesan cheese on top. Yum Yum! - 4/28/09

    I made this last night and loved it! I added a bit of garlic powder to mine because I happen to love garlic. Also, I didn't cook the shrimp since I didn't have any on hand. I made salmon instead. Next time I will definitely try the shrimp. Can't wait! - 3/6/09

    Easy and my family enjoyed it very much. I added a little garlic and also heated the shrimp shells in the broth, then strained them out. That gave the dish a shrimpier taste. - 4/16/08

    It was good, but it was a little bit lets say tasteless with the low sodium broth. I did add a little low fat alfredo sauce to add some extra flavor, but other than that the dish was very filling and good! - 3/20/08
