  I agree cooking wine or broth. The wine gives it amazing flavor 🙂

  I know sounds crazy but pineapple wine is best for some reason it just goes well if they don’t have that wine ill go to trader Joes and but their $3 wine. I also make the sauce with the shell on shrimp and when they just turn done color I put on a plate and peel then put them back for a few minutes. the shell on gives it this enhanced flavor. I’ve made this for years but I don’t measure I just go on taste. enjoy

   Looks so good…one of my very favorites. As far a substitute for the wine, I think you could use chicken or vegetable broth.

   You could use white cooking wine that they sell in the grocery store, in place of wine.

   I looked online. You can substitute chicken broth for the white wine

   Cooking wine is ok substitute. Wine burns off when you cook with it. It gives your dish a real nice depth of flavor, that’s all. If you don’t want to purchase a big bottle, and IDK how it is elsewhere, but my local Rouse’s store usually has a bin with $1-$2 wine bottles. They’re small, like enough for a glass or 2. I always get a few to have on hand for some recipes that call for wine. My husband drinks red, and well that turns everything pink!

   One of my favorite cooking tips is to freeze 1/2cup or so of wine when you have an open bottle laying around (for those occasional wine drinkers like myself). That way if a recipe calls for wine I know I have a small amount I can use without having to open a new bottle for it. One thing to note though, it doesn’t freeze all the way (just gets slushy). I put mine in a ziplock bag.

   Are the tails on the shrimp? Sorry if that is a dumb question but i’ve always wondered when shrimp is eaten with pasta if the tail is left on.

  leave them on when cooking then pull them off and peel then put them back in for a few minutes. the shell gives it some extra flavor.

    Sauce was a little thin so I added 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup corn starch. Delicious!!!

    How much pasta did you make? I’d like to onlinebine the sauce and pasta and mix but want to make sure it’s the correct ratio.
