Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi

Dinner Tonight: Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi w/ Whole Grain Bread

Strong and cold wind a blowing today, it is down right cold almost! In fact they are warning people

to cover any outdoor plants because in the morning it could be 32 degrees or below. Love this Ohio weather! Had my Hoveround worked on again, new tires and riding in style! After that ran to Kroger for Mom and to pick some bread up for myself and stopped at the bank drive-thru before coming back home. Did a little cleaning and that was about it for the day. It's Day 4 of the "Freezer Meal Week", using a bag of Kroger Brand Jumbo Shrimp. Removed it from the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. I prepared Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Pasta Dinner Shrimp Scampi.



As usual I used Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Scampi Pasta Dinner Mix. 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 Kroger Brand Jumbo size Shelled and Tailless Shrimp. I boiled the Shrimp for about 3 minutes and seasoned it with Old Bay Seasoning, drained them and set aside. 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 delicious! 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 slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.
