Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w....


Dinner Tonight: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Aunt Millie's Hawaiian Style Rolls




Well everyone is feeling back to normal. The stomach virus ran it's course and my parents are a lot better. I had been wanting some Shrimp and what better way to prepare them than by using them in Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Mix. The easy and delicious way to prepare Shrimp Scampi. So for dinner I prepared Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Aunt Millie's Hawaiian Style Rolls.


You can add Chicken, Pork, or Shrimp, but I always go with the Shrimp but I think some Blackened Chicken would be great with this also! I used the Jumbo size Shelled and Tailless Shrimp. I boiled the Shrimp for about 4 minutes and seasoned it with Old Bay Seasoning. I then cooked the Pasta by the box directions and added in the Shrimp as the Pasta was finishing up. I left the info and details at the bottom of the post on the Zatarain’s. The Scampi came out fantastic! Great flavor, seasoned just right with a bit of heat! Real easy to make and the Zatarains Scampi Pasta is only 110 calories and 21 carbs. The added Shrimp was 120 calories and 0 carbs. I also had a couple of Aunt Millie's Hawaiian Style Rolls left in the freezer that I baked to go with my Scampi. For a dessert/snack later some Tostito's Whole Grain Scoops along with Newman's own black Bean and Corn Salsa, which is my new Salsa of choice.
