I would make this dish again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less butter and more garlic, and I would add some red pepper flakes for a little spice.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked. I think I might have added too much milk.

This dish was a little too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the shrimp were a bit greasy.

I wasn't sure how I would like the bucatini, but it was actually really good. It held the sauce well and it didn't get mushy.
