Yum! This dish was delicious. The creamy pesto sauce was the perfect complement to the shrimp and linguine. I loved the bright flavor of the lemon zest and the crunch of the pine nuts. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this recipe was pretty good! The creamy pesto sauce was flavorful and the shrimp were cooked well. I added a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more kick. Overall, I enjoyed this dish and would make it again.

This dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste, and the shrimp were a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not bad! The creamy pesto sauce was tasty, and the shrimp were cooked nicely. However, the dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try draining the shrimp and sauce a bit more next time.

This recipe had potential, but it fell short in a few areas. The sauce was too thin and lacked flavor, and the shrimp were a bit tough. I think with some adjustments, it could be a good recipe, but it needs some work.

Meh. The sauce was bland and the shrimp were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. Maybe I'll try a different pesto recipe next time.

This recipe is a winner! The creamy pesto sauce is to die for, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. I served it over linguine, but I think it would be equally delicious with other types of pasta. Definitely a new favorite in my kitchen.

I've tried many pesto pasta recipes before, but this one takes the cake. The addition of cream makes the sauce extra creamy and indulgent, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. I loved the pop of flavor from the lemon zest, and the pine nuts added

This creamy pesto shrimp linguine was an absolute delight! The combination of flavors was spot-on, with the creamy pesto sauce providing a rich and flavorful base, while the shrimp added a lovely briny sweetness. The linguine cooked perfectly, and th
