Another Shrimp & Pasta dish

I made this one day last week, so I have to remember what I did...lol

Ingredients:
Fettuccini Pasta
Frozen Brocolli
Fresh Spinach
Shrimp
EVOO
The Pampered Chef Spinach & Smoky Red Pepper Oil Dipping Seasoning

Directions:
Make the pasta according to directions.
In a 12" skillet, add enough EVOO to coat the pan. Heat up and add the brocolli (I defrosted the brocolli on the microwave). Stir fry the brocolli about 8 mins. Add your shelled shrimp to the brocolli and cook for 4mins, add the spinach and cover until the shrimp is pink and the spinach has softened.
Toss with 2 Tbsp of the seasoning mix and then toss with the pasta.
Hope you enjoy!!!!

Shrimp Salad, Yummy Yummy

Jose wanted ceviche for dinner tonight, but I didn't have anything but the shrimp to make it. He did a pour out in the desert with 115* weather & was beat from the heat!
So I scrambled up a salad that turned out phenomenal!

Shrimp Salad
Shrimp
~Shrimp (I did 40 for Jose, Dominic & I)
~Lemon Pepper, Basil, Salt & Pepper
~Olive Oil
I placed the shrimp in a bag with about 1TBS of olive oil, the lemon pepper, basil, salt & pepper. Let that marinade about an hour or more.

Dressing
~1 Grapefruit, juiced into a bowl & zested (about 1 tsp)
~Strawberry Preserves
~1 TBS Olive Oil
~Salt & Pepper
Put it all into a bowl & whisk, set aside in fridge to let it all marry.


Salad
~Mixed Salad Greens
~1 Grapefruit cut up
~10 Strawberries quartered


Put the shrimp on top of the salad & drizzle with the dressing.


It was definitely a hit!

Pasta & Shrimp

I didn't know what to make, once again...
I had taken out Shrimp, but didn't know what to do with it ( I REALLY get tired of the same 'ol stuff!). Well, this is what I came up with...

Spinach & Shrimp Pasta
1 lb~ Shrimp, de-veined, shelled & cut up
2 lbs~ Frozen Spinach, defrosted
1 lb~ Egg Noodles
1 stick real butter (I know now you can definitely use less!)
2 TBS Oil
Garlic

Directions
Make the Egg Noodles according to package directions.
Place oil into pan, add butter & melt. Crush garlic into pan & saute. Add Shrimp and cook just until turning pink (you don't want too cook too much). Add the spinach and continue to cook until the shrimp is completely pink.
Toss in with the noodles & enjoy!

Honey's Birthday Dinner

Last night was Jose's birthday. I didn't have any plans for dinner for him, because we were both gonna do seperate things. Well, I got sick and our plans changed. I went to the store after picking the kids up from school and bought stuff for his dinner.

Pasta & Shrimp in Butter-Garlic Sauce, Garlic Bread, Salad

PASTA
~1 lb of Pasta (I used Angel hair, but prefer Linguine for this dish)
*Cook As Directed

SHRIMP IN BUTTER-GARLIC SAUCE
~2lbs of Shrimp, de-veined & shell/tail removed
~1 stick of REAL butter
~6-8 garlic cloves (depending on your palate)
~Ground Pepper & Salt
~Parsley
*Melt the butter in pan on medium-high heat, you don't want to burn your butter. I add a bit of olive oil to help w/ the melting process. Press garlic and add to the butter/oil, grind in salt & pepper, add parsley. Mix it all up and toss in the shrimp. Cook just until they turn pink (you DO NOT want to overcook shrimp!).
*Toss all over Pasta

GARLIC BREAD
*Feel free to make your own, but we like this:

Cook according to package directions

SALAD
~Bag of mixed greens
~1-2 Cucumbers
~2-3 Tomatoes
Chop the bigger vegis up, toss into greens & enjoy!

Very easy, took about a total of 40 mins to do it all & it was a HIT!
