This recipe is very easy--and very delicious--and will make people think you know what you're doing in the kitchen. :)





You need angel hair pasta or just thin spaghetti noodles, a jar of alfredo sauce or parmesan and mozzarella sauce (Wal-Mart has it), and a bag of cooked shrimp. You can buy cooked shrimp in small bags for relatively cheap in the freezer section.





Boil the noodles until done. How much you need depends on your serving size.





Put however much shrimp you want to use in a frying pan. (Picture how much you need by seeing how much will be sitting on top of the pasta.) Melt some butter in the frying pan with the shrimp, then sprinkle the shrimp with garlic.





When the noodles are done, mix the jar of sauce in, and heat until warm. Then top with the cooked shrimp.





Wallah--shrimp alfredo--very easy--and delicious!!





(You can follow this same recipe using frozen cooked chicken pieces and substitute for the shrimp.)
get a whole grain pasta and doesn't taste any different and makes the dish healthier use pasta sauce without sugar boil the pasta until it is just tender not quite done put it in a baking dish sprayed with something like pam pour one jar of spaghetti sauce on the pasta season to taste, add fresh parmesean cheese and spinache about a quater cup of low fat cheese bake at 350 for 20 min it's quick and healthy.
