Today’s Menu: Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni – Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs

 

 

For Breakfast I made a Ham and Cheese Egg White Omelet. I used Bob Evan’s Egg Whites, Meijer Cubed Ham, and Sargento Off the Block Cheddar Cheese. I also had a cup of my favorite Tea, Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. More rain today and every day until next Monday. So rain today and a high of 54 degrees. Well its week 2 of isolation. The Governor of Ohio has shutdown everything but Hospitals, Doctor’s Offices, Grocery Stores, essential Repair shops, and Drive Thru or Curb Side Restaurants. My cousin has been bringing us food and such when she ventures out. Also I’ve been ordering what food and needs on line but its tough finding it anymore. Most Stores are out of a lot of items but its starting to better. So wait is what we’ll do until the virus passes or a cure comes along. I hope all of you stay healthy! For Dinner tonight a favorite of mine, Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni.

 

Thank goodness for our 2 freezers! We have a good supply of items in the freezer. So for the Shrimp part of the dish I used Meijer Brand Frozen Jumbo Shrimp. This is my frozen Shrimp of choice, best I’ve found. I had them in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. I love Shrimp and all Seafood. For the Shrimp; I started by rinsing the Shrimp off in cold water and letting it dry in a colander. Using a medium size skillet, that I sprayed with Pam Cooking Spray and a 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, that I heated on medium heat. I seasoned them with Old Bay Seasoning and a sprinkle of Morton’s Lite Salt and added the Shrimp to the skillet. Cooked them 2 minutes per side, turning the Shrimp once. And as the Shrimp was cooking I started to prepare the Pasta.

 

I love having Shrimp with the Pasta Roni – Angel Hair Pasta with Herbs. It comes with the Pasta Special Seasonings Packet and I added; 1 1/3 cups of water, 2/3 cups of 2% milk, and 2 tablespoons of Blue Bonnet Light Butter. Then to prepare it; In a medium saucepan bring water, milk, margarine or butter to a boil. Then slowly stir in pasta and Special Seasonings. Separate pasta with a fork, if needed. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Boil uncovered, 4-5 min. or until pasta is just tender, stirring frequently. Sauce will be thin. Let stand 3-5 min. to thicken. There’s 2 servings per box, leftovers coming tomorrow. Nice seasoning and the Parmesan Sauce is very flavorful. I topped the Pasta with some Kraft Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese and the Shrimp. Too good, this makes one easily prepared and delicious Shrimp and Pasta Dish! Then I also baked a loaf of La Baguetterie Roasted Garlic Oval Bread. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Smart Pop – Pop Corn with a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.
