Based on other reviews, I added 2 tbsp dill and prepared all but shrimp in advanced.. Let it chill in the fridge a few hours then before serving, fried the shrimp with Italian herbs and stirred them in.. Turned out great, I loved it

We liked but frankly it isn’t ” herby” so next time I will add either dill weed, or rosemary.. maybe basil. I did add1 crown of broccoli cause I’m always looking to add more veggies

Very good! It does say best if served right away but because of my day I needed to make it a few hours ahead of serving. I put everything in the bowl but the shrimp, tried it nice flavors then refrigerated until time to eat. I also grilled the shrimp instead of a skillet then added to pasta right before serving. It turned out great! I liked the pasta better after sitting and then ate it for breakfast the next day and thought it was even better! YUM!
