    Very Good
    We substituted whole wheat linguine for the white stuff and eliminated all of the salt used for cooking. Instead we used sea salt at the table. The pasta was different but the lemon zest and juice really provided a different spin on the shrimp. We will certainly make this again. - 11/1/09
