My family liked the flavor, however we all agreed that it was way too much lemon and pepper. In an attempt to tone it down a bit, I mixed some cornstarch with milk and made a white sauce. This seemed to help a bit but it was still too strong for my family. I will definitely try the recipe again and start off with using 1 squares of the Saute Express instead of the 4 that the recipe calls for. Read More

Excellent, fast, easy recipe! I didn't use the butter as I wanted to make it healthier so I used olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning. This is great to make during the week. Read More

I can't find the pre-mixed seasonings so I did my own thing. To make the sauce I used a small amount of olive oil (maybe 1 tbsp), the juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime, and some Lemon Pepper seasoning I had from my local Savory Spice Shop. This is my go-to recipe for a fast pasta dish after work when I want to cook something tasty and good for me. Read More

Very delicious! I adapted it a little bit because I didn't have everything. I used lemon pepper seasoning and melted butter. I also used a different pasta. Read More

Tasted ok, a hint if spiciness. My 4 year old liked the shrimp only, but my 2 year old only liked the pasta. May try again with the garlic sauté express or mix both. Read More
