Recipe: Easy Shrimp Alfredo
Feb. 2nd, 2009 07:31 pmIngredients:
* 1 lb shrimp (pre-cooked, de-veined, peeled for ease of use; I used cocktail shrimp)
* 1 bunch green onions / shallots / scallions (I get these mixed up, any will do)
* 1/2 box of pasta (I used whole wheat linguine)
* 1/2 container of Alfredo sauce
* 1 tbs butter
* 1 pre-made garlic bread unit
Steps:
The white colored ends of the green onions / shallots / scallions / whatever-they-are are a little more bitter, so they need more cooking. Chop these ends into small bits, and throw onto the pan (on medium) with the butter. Chop the rest into big pieces and set aside. Remove the tail things from the shrimp. Throw the shrimp in the pan. While waiting for the shrimp to warm (or cook if raw), start the pasta and garlic bread unit. Boil off some of the liquid in with the shrimp, but not all, and turn the heat down some. Add the Alfredo sauce (1/2 of a glass jar) and mix well. Add the rest of the green onions / shallots / scallions / whatever-they-are (you're adding them late so they don't wilt too much). When the pasta's done and the shrimp Alfredo sauce is the right temperature and consistency (whatever you like for that), serve over the pasta with the garlic bread on the side.
Makes dinner for me and T$ with one small leftover unit of shrimp and pasta (not quite lunch sized, more like snack sized) and a variable amount of leftover garlic bread (depends on what sized unit you used). Probably took me 30 minutes with peeling the tails off the cocktail shrimp. Yummy. :)
