Easy Meals: Shrimp Alfredo
Today I made a favorite mine, shrimp Alfredo. I love seafood and I forgot my mom had gotten me some shrimp a about a week ago. So went to the store to make this. If you wondering what you need and how to make it, here is what you need.
1/2 lb small shrimp
any kind of pasta, I used linguine
broccoli, cut up
baby mushrooms
alfredo sauce
seasonings: salt, pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
Boil the water for your pasta and put a little olive oil and salt into it, then put your pasta in and stir it while it cooks. With your shrimp make sure you take the shells off and have rinsed them in cold water. I baked my shrimp but you can do the same on top of the store in a frying pan by sauteing them. Get a good enough size pan for the shrimp, put as much or as little seasonings as you want, this is all down by eye because you might just want a little or a lot, but be warned, don't use a lot of salt or the seasoning salt, you will regret it. Splash the balsamic vinegar a few times and make sure it gets on all the shrimp, then do the same with the olive oil and but in the oven on 350 until they are pink and have a nice color. You want to make sure they are done. If you see they are all pink, maybe after about 10 to 15 minutes, keep them in maybe five minutes more if you really want to make sure they are finished. While you stir your pasta, you are either going to steam your broccoli and mushrooms. After everything is finished you will drain the pasta and put it back in the pot, but make sure there is no water. Then take the shrimp along with the juice and pout it into the pot. Do the same with the veggies but don't put any of the water into it, just the veggies themselves. Put the Alfredo sauce on top, about half the jar, then mix. Now pour the rest of the Alfredo and mix it well and serve.
