I bought a half pound of shrimp which was fine for the two of us. I skipped the clam juice and next time would sub with another liquid (more wine) to beef up the sauce, and I only used 1/2 c of cream. I’m trying to learn the art of tweaking recipes in relation to pantry stock. I

 grabbed whatever kind of tomato I could find quickly (I think diced). Julia lets me make dinner but my sous chef does not approve wasting time in the store or at home, and I figured tomayto tomahto
