Garlic-Herb Linguine w/ Argentinean Red Shrimp

Dinner Tonight: Garlic-Herb Linguine w/ Argentinean Red Shrimp





To start my Sunday Morning off I had Glier's Turkey Goetta and Hash Browns. It had been a while since I've had Turkey Goetta. I picked up a roll of it at Kroger the other day. I sat it in the freezer after I got up for 30 minutes. Reason being is that it slices a lot better and stays together when sliced as a
patty. I fried a couple of slices up in a small skillet that I sprayed with Pam Non Stick Spray, fried until both sides were golden brown. Then I also prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns. When  done I sprinkled it with Sargento Off the Block Sharp Cheddar. The Goetta goes great with Hash Browns! Cloudy, windy, and 48 degrees out today. After Breakfast I went to McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom. She loves those Golden Arches Breakfasts! Mom went on to Church afterward. I did a couple of loads of laundry and cleaned the house today. For Dinner tonight I tried Argentinean Red Shrimp for the first time. I prepared Garlic-Herb Linguine w/ Argentinean Red Shrimp.


I purchased a frozen bag of Private Selection Antarctic Wild Caught Argentinean Red Shrimp at Kroger last week and couldn't wait to try it! They come peeled and deveined. The description for Red Shrimp reads; Private Selection Antarctic Wild Caught Argentinean Red Shrimp are native to the antarctic waters off the coast of Argentinian and are prized for their succulent and buttery lobster-like taste and texture. There's 90 calories in a serving of 6 Shrimp.





To prepare the Shrimp I got a large skillet, sprayed it with Pam and added 1 table spoon of Extra Light Olive Oil and a pat of Blue Bonnet Light Butter. Heated the skillet on medium heat. I seasoned the Shrimp with Old Bay Seasoning. Old Bay is perfect for all Seafood and Chicken. When the Skillet was heated and ready I added the Shrimp. Cooked them for 4 minutes, turning them over after 2 minutes. And done! They fried up easy and they have an excellent flavor to them. And they are a lot like Lobster! I'll be using these again.



As the Shrimp was cooking I prepared the Barilla Whole Grain Linguine. I brought a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cooked the Linguine at a boil until tender, about 11 minutes; drain and transferred pasta to a large bowl.Then I mixed melted Butter, minced Garlic, and Parsley in a small bowl;  and drizzled over the Linguine and toss to coat. Season Pasta with seasoned Sea Salt.






 To make the Dish I made a bed of the Linguine in a bowl. Topped it with the Red Shrimp with a
sprinkle of Kraft Grated Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese. The Red Shrimp is so good and works perfect with Linguine! I had also baked a loaf of La Baguetterie Roasted Garlic Oval Bread that I got from Meijer. I love Shrimp and Pasta! For Dessert later a bowl of Skinny Pop - Pop Corn and a Diet Peach Snapple to drink.










Barilla Whole Grain Linguine

Made with one simple ingredient, whole grain durum wheat flour, Barilla® Whole Grain Linguine is an excellent source of fiber. This pasta is ideal for anyone seeking to increase their intake of fiber and whole grains without sacrificing taste.

Barilla Whole Grain pasta is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.

Linguine is made from long, flat strands of pasta, but is thin and narrow. Linguine, which means “little tongues” in Italian, originated in the Liguria region of Italy. Barilla Whole Grain Linguine cooks up perfectly al dente everytime, delivering the delicious taste and texture you expect in every bite.

BENEFITS
* Made with 100% Whole Wheat
* Good source of Fiber
* Delicious taste and texture

Kitchen Hint of the Day! SUNDAY

Too much garlic..........


Added too much garlic to a dish  Adding lots of fresh, chopped parsley may counteract it. Is it possible to add too much garlic, I don't know!

Shrimp, Noodles with Mushrooms and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread

Dinner Tonight: Shrimp, Noodles with Mushrooms and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread





For Breakfast this morning I made a Breakfast Sandwich. I toasted a Thomas 100 Calorie Light Whole Grain English Muffin, heated up an al fresco Chicken Sausage Patty, 1/2 slice of Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar, and I had my Breakfast Sandwich! Also had my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Passing thunderstorms, humid, and 88 degrees out today. Another day of being down and out with my allergies. Not feeling good today. So it was a day of rest and relaxation, and College Football. For Dinner tonight I prepared Shrimp, Noodles with Mushrooms and Baked Garlic Loaf Bread.



For the Shrimp part of the dish I used Meijer Brand Jumbo Shrimp. I had them in the freezer so I let them thaw overnight in the fridge. I love Shrimp and all Seafood. 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 seasoned them with Old Bay Seasoning and a sprinkle of Morton’s Lite Salt and added the Shrimp to the skillet. Cooked them 2 minutes per side, turning the Shrimp once. I've been using the Meijer Frozen Shrimp for a while now. I think it's best Frozen Shrimp I've ever found by far.  And as the Shrimp was cooking I started to prepare the Pasta.




I'm preparing Egg Noodles with Mushrooms. I'll be using Ronzoni Smart Taste Extra Wide Noodles, Mini Bella Mushrooms, Minced Garlic, Blue Bonnet Light Butter, Sea Salt, and Fresh Basil. To prepare it; Cook noodles until just tender in boiling salted water. Cook 8 minutes, stirring often.









As the Noodles are cooking I Sauteed the sliced Mushrooms and Garlic in 2 tablespoons of Butter, Ground Roasted Cumin, and Sea Salt over moderate heat until Mushrooms are tender, about 3 or 4 minutes. Keep an eye on the Garlic so not to burn it.Drain the Noodles and toss in with cooked Mushrooms. Add the Basil and season with a little Sea Salt, to taste. Dig in! The Noodles, Mushrooms, and Garlic all come together to make one delicious Pasta Dish! Then top it all off with the Shrimp, Shrimp makes everything better!




As everything was cooking I also Baked a Loaf of Garlic Loaf Bread. This has become the family’s favorite Baked Bread. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a Coke Zero to drink.












Egg Noodles with Mushrooms

Ingredients
1/2 pound Ronzoni Smart Taste Extra Wide Noodles
