Shrimp Alfredo

If this is your first visit to my recipes, welcome! If you are a returner, thank you!

I am a true believer that the world of food should be open to a person and moderation in all things is a great way to live life, that’s why I specialize in creating macro-friendly recipes that are much easier to “fit” in moderation.

As you get to know me, you will find that all my recipes use a moderate to few amount of ingredients because I also believe that cooking should be stress free and not break the budget. I encourage that for all of my recipes you look into buying frozen rather than fresh to promote longevity of each food item if you do not use it again right away.

I would also love to hear your personal spin on any of my recipes! Have fun and please enjoy!

Shrimp Alfredo...nuf said! Everyone loves this cheesy, creamy, flavorful favorite. The classic dish averages a good 1,000 kcal per portion! (Just look at the Olive Garden nutrition facts for comparison!) I have a severe hate for jarred Alfredo sauce, to me it’s a sad, glue-like imitation to what Alfredo should be! That's why you will find below my very easy, inexpensive, protein packed shrimp Alfredo recipe that combines all of your favorite flavors without all the calories!

This recipe is suitable for bariatric patients, body builders, anyone who is practicing moderation or just someone looking for a delicious and light dinner recipe!

Ingredients

Pasta Base

-3 oz Frozen shrimp

-½ Bag (~140g) Konjac or Shirataki noodles

*(Such as “Better Than Pasta” or Miracle Noodles, found in the gluten free or vegetarian aisles)

-1/3C (42g) Frozen Peas

-Garlic powder, salt, pepper and turmeric to taste

Alfredo Sauce

-1/2C (50g) Greek cream cheese

-1/4 C water

- Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Directions

-Rinse the noodles

* (Watch out for that smell when you open them! I swear it dissipates after rinsing)

-Quickly boil noodles to soften ~5 min

-Combine all Alfredo sauce ingredients in the sauce pan and let melt together on low heat

*(Be sure to occasionally stir so sauce comes together and doesn't burn)

-Drain noodles and put in sprayed skillet with garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper

*Turmeric doesn’t add much flavor but gives the noodles a nice color

-Add peas and shrimp and continue to pan fry until heated through (~5 min)

-Plate the noodles, shrimp and peas then poor Alfredo sauce over top
