"I was looking for a recipe to use some of the abundant fresh basil I grow in pots on my back deck, so I modeled this recipe after dishes I've had in local restaurants. It's easy, fresh, and colorful--and a very quick dinner." -CL Reader

I made it as is, but a little too "meh" for my tastebuds. I ended up adding some oregano and a few more Italian spices. On the plus side, it's pretty to serve and easy to make. This wouldn't be my first go-to recipe for company made as is, but would make it again with the addition of the other spices.

A bit too bland. The olives overwhelm the taste of the shrimp and turn them quite dark. I followed the recipe exactly.

Sometimes you need a really fast dish to throw together after work, and this is it. The whole thing (once the pasta water boiled) took under ten minutes. I added a bit of crushed red pepper, but that's all. Served with steamed green beans. I made exactly 3/4 of the recipe, and I was very satisfied with one serving, though my husband at two. Great flavors!

Excellent - added white wine to sauté with shrimp - extra capers added flavor punch - light and delicious. Added feta and fresh basil on top of each individual serving - beautiful presentation too. Will definitely add this to my list of favorites!
