Tonight, as tired as I was, I decided to whip up something I've never made before...hence the adventure. I've been trying for the last couple of weeks to really utilize the foods that I have at the house and cook from "scratch" as much as possible. These recipes aren't fabulous or groundbreaking, just really me getting my feet wet in the cooking world. As dinner is now finished and my creation labeled a SUCCESS I'll share it! I think I'm going to call it.....
Shrimp Noodle Surprise!
Ingredients:
Approx 1lb cooked, de-veined shrimp..average size
1/2 cup or so of fresh mushrooms, cut into smallish chunks
2 cans of Campbells Cheddar Cheese "soup"
Milk
Half and Half
2 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp pepper
1-2 tsp sea salt (or regular)
2-3 Tbsp Lemon pepper seasoning DIVIDED
2 Tbsp butter
3 tsp garlic salt
3 tsp onion powder
3 tsp dill
Linguine or spaghetti noodles...whatever works
Directions
Cook the cheddar cheese soup according to directions using 1 can of milk and 1 can of half and half...just on lowish heat so it doesn't burn. Add parsley, pepper, salt, dill, 2 Tbsp lemon pepper, onion powder, garlic. Whisk all together, mixing well.
In a saute pan or whatever you have, "saute" the thawed shrimp and mushrooms in your butter. (Or just use a little butter flavored cooking spray to cut the calories!) You can sprinkle the same spices as above over the shrimp to get the extra flavor as I did. When the shrimp is nice and pink and the mushrooms browned, add to sauce mixture and mix well.
While you're doing all of this, make sure you have your noodles boiling. This makes quite a bit of sauce, so cook enough noodles! (I got about 6 good sized servings.)
Drain noodles well and add to sauce mixture! Using a spaghetti spoon, stir mixture to your liking. This should make an ooey, gooey, wonderful dish!
Instead of salt and pepper on top, sprinkle with some more lemon pepper for a little more kick! Both my husband and brother-in-law thought it was wonderful and I look forward to making it again someday!
