Leftovers: Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni – Parmesan Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Leftovers - Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni – Parmesan Cheese




For Breakfast this morning I fried some Jennie - O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, had some

Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, toasted 1 slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread (lightly buttered with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter), and a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Big change in our weather, finely feeling like Fall. Low 40's this morning and a cool breeze a blowing. We didn't hit 60 degrees today, about 58 degrees. After Lunch I went to the local Kroger for a few items, stopped by the bank, and stopped and got gas before heading home. Did some light cleaning and then caught up on some shows I had recorded. For Dinner tonight its the easiest prepared Dinner, Leftovers! I heated up the leftover Shrimp w/ Pasta Roni – Parmesan Cheese.




As always when I prepare this meal it's leftovers for the next meal. I really enjoy the Pasta Roni Meals, whether its with Shrimp or Chicken. In this case its Shrimp and far be it from me to ever waste Shrimp. So I put the leftovers on a microwavable plate, covered it, and reheated it. It's just as good the 2nd time around! I also reheated some Pillsbury French Bread that I had baked yesterday. For dessert later, I baked a box of Pillsbury Sugar Free Chocolate Brownies. Below is last night's Dinner description. Enjoy!





For the Shrimp part of the dish I used Kroger Brand Jumbo Shrimp. 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 cooked the Shrimp. I seasoned them with Old Bay Seasoning. Cooked them 2 minutes per side, turning the Shrimp once. And as the Shrimp was cooking I started to prepare the Pasta.




I’ve prepared this several times now, sometimes I make using Chicken but Shrimp is my favorite.

Rice – A – Roni, Pasta Roni is an Angel Hair Pasta in a Parmesan Sauce with other natural flavors. It comes with the Pasta Parm Sauce 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. 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 delicious Shrimp and Pasta Dish!
