Hi Dave,
DD> Funny you shold bring this up right now. I was defrosting the freezer
DD> and came across a bag of tail-off shrimp buried in the frost. NOTE TO
DD> SELF: Check Best Buy for that self-defrosting freezer.
I do like our self defrosting freezer, same with the fridge freezer.
I've defrosted many freezers over my lifetime and various moves; it's
nice not to have to worry about that any more.
RH> I might try it soon myself. Recently I was browsing thru a cook book
RH> put out by the Rocky Mount Junior League, came across the following. I
RH> had a pack of shrimp in the freezer from some time ago, cut the recipe
RH> in half and had a supper that we'll repeat.
RH> VIDALIA SHRIMP SAUTE OVER ANGEL HAIR PASTA
RH> 30 ounces angel hair pasta
RH> (I subbed in buckwheat noodles (soba) that had been in the pantry for a
RH> while.)
RH> 1/4 c olive oil
RH> 2 cloves garlic, chopped
RH> 2 green peppers, sliced in strips
RH> 2 red peppers, sliced in strips
DD> Bell peppers? Or poblano/NuMex?
First time making; I used bells but may try others next time around.
Don't want to overpower the shrimps tho.
DD> Looks like a decent recipe. If Vidalia onions are not in season you
DD> can sub nearly any yellow (sweet) onion icluding the Texas 1084.
Or the Maui sweet, used enough of them over almost 6 years in HI. They
work well in something like this.
DD> Anyway I made this recipe I invented when living at my brother's house
DD> for medical recovery a few years ago. It was a hit then and it was
DD> again last night. Real Alfredo would use fettucine noodles. But, I
DD> prefer the thinner linguine or spaghetti. And it's a poor cook who
DD> can't suit himself. Bv)=
RH> Looks good, I had a Wegman's heat & serve (with chicken and penne
RH> pasta) version of this last week. Pan said one serving, I had it over 2
RH> meals. It was ok, not great, not bad with only 3 pieces of broccoli in
RH> the whole thing. Don't know if I would buy it again but Steve had his
RH> VFW meeting and I didn't have anything in the fridge that looked
RH> appealing,
DD> I sometimes nuke up a Healthy Choice selection then let one of the fur
DD> kids pre-wash the container. I really like when Hy-Vee puts them on a
DD> special for under U$3 ea. Great price and good (also convenient) food.
I've tried some of the different pre made things from Wegman's when
Steve has a supper meal. A bit more on the pricey side but they're made
up fresh and are generous enough to make 2 meals of it.
