linguine alfredo with shrimp scampi

One of my boyfriend's favorite meals :) I like to make this for a special occasion meal and serve it with our favorite Kedem brand sparkling Blush grape juice - soooo delicious!

 

pasta ingredients:

1 package Barilla linguine noodles

1 jar Bertolli "creamy alfredo" sauce (1 jar is enough for two servings if you prefer a heavy amount of sauce like we do)

 

1. cook pasta according to package directions and top with the heated sauce.

 

scampi ingredients:

8 "colossal" size raw frozen white shrimp (16-20 count size) per person/serving

6 tbsp olive oil (I prefer Bertolli)

1/2 tbsp minced fresh garlic *

1 tsp parsley *

1/2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning *

(*the amount of spices listed is per serving, so you will need to multiply the spices depending on how many servings of the sprimp scampi you are making)

 

1. Pat defrosted shrimps with some paper toweling (this helps to reduce any spattering when you sautee them in the oil).

 

2. Pour the olive oil into a non-stick skillet and add the spices, then add the shrimp. I like to sort of dredge them in the oil and spices so that each side of the shrimps are coated. I then sautee them for about six minutes (three minutes on each side).

 

serves: 2

*I buy the kind of shrimp that are already peeled and "deveined" but just have the tails on them. They're sold at BJs Wholesale Club in 2lb bags.
