I have been really wanting Red Lobster so I decided to make it for dinner. You can always buy shrimp at Aldi for $3.99 for cleaned shell on, easy peel. This is a cheater sauce but some times just jazzing things up is all we have time for as moms. I am learning to take short cuts here and there because life is so busy. I have a list going in my head of meals that I can make completely from Aldi's, this is on that list.
Alfredo with Shrimp
1# penne pasta
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2# mushrooms sliced
1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
3/4 c grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c 1/2 & 1/2
1 pound shrimp shelled and tail removed
Cook pasta and drain. Saute onions in a little EVOO until soft, add garlic, sauce, cream, cheese, and shrimp. Cover but watch closely since milk products burn easily, until shrimp is cooked. Then remove lid and cook until thickened, I dont like my sauce to get too think so I add a couple of tablespoons of pasta water. Plate pasta and top with sauce and garnish with parsley.
Cheddar Garlic Bay Biscuits
2 1/2 c Bisquick (or make your own)
1/2 c cheddar cheese
1 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
1/2 t dried parsley
2/3 c water
1/4 c butter
1/2 t garlic powder
1/8 t onion powder
1/4 t dried parsley
2 dashes Old Bay Seasoning
Preheat 375. Mix the top ingredients together, add water. You may have to add a tablespoon or so more of water to incorporate all the ingredients. Spoon on to baking sheet or stone. About 8 good since biscuits. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden
Combined the bottom ingredients, if butter is hard microwave to soften or liquidity. Brush over biscuits fresh out of the oven. Turn off oven and return the biscuits while you set the table, serve and enjoy!
