This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and the shrimp were a bit overcooked. However, the flavors were good and I think it would be a great dish for a special occasion.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but this dish was surprisingly good! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I would definitely make this again, even for non-seafood lovers.

This dish was easy to make and the results were amazing! The shrimp were tender and juicy, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful. I loved the addition of sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts - they added a nice depth of flavor.

I had some trouble finding sun-dried tomatoes, so I used fresh tomatoes instead. The dish still turned out great! The sauce was a little bit thinner, but it was still very flavorful.
