Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
Large or Jumbo Shrimp
Half a package of dry pasta
Olive Oil
Butter
Obay Seasoning
Pepper/Salt or what ever seasonings you pefer
Bottle of Alfredo Sauce (can be found in the same place as spaggetti sauce)
While your pasta cooks (be sure to add a teaspoon of Olive Oil and salt) in a medium sauce pan add butter and shrimp. Add seasonings and saute shrimp. Make sure you shell shrimp.
The obay seasoning is the key to this dish. It brings out the seafood flavor.
Add obay seasoning to taste.
Once pasta is done, add shrimp and sauce to drained pasta. Add Alfredo sauce and more seasonings to taste, you need to add Obay seasoning also.
Keep on heat until it is heated all the way through.

Choose you favorite pasta, Cook it and set aside in a nice serving bowl.. Boil broccoli head, chop up small and set aside. Saute olive oil and a tsp butter, add 1 clove of garlic for 1 minute. add 1/4 cup milk to pan and heat for 30 seconds. add 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, and season to taste.
Add all ingredients to the bowl of pasta, add 1.4 cup parm. cheese, and squeezed 1/2 lemon.
It's a meal in itself :)
Next time you are at the supermarket check out the Pasta-Roni dinners. On the shelf in boxes. I like the Garlic and Olive Oil best. I always add a little more garlic power to mine. A big green tossed salad goes well with this. They are delicious. I have read that Betty Crocker now has boxed dinners too.
Have you tried making your own pasta yet? Have a look at Jammie Olivers website he normally has some fresh ideas
