Tried something new tonight...no recipe to go by..just threw it together.
Shrimp Alfredo.
My thinking was that if I put the Shrimp in a hot pan and they would thaw slowly they would not be too over cooked...BUT.. even though it wasn't perfect, I learned from it. LOL
I put some minced garlic in my deep fry pan with some Olive Oil..let it get hot..threw in the Shrimp..the shrimp came cleaned, deveined, and cooked. Put on water to cook spaghetti. While it was cooking, I emptied a jar of Alfredo Sauce over the Shrimp. Let it simmer...sprinkled some powdered Parmasean cheese on top and squeezed lime juice on it...let it simmer while I put garlic rolls in the toaster oven.
It turned out really good..would have been better if I had thawed the shrimp, cut off the tails and maybe even cut the shrimp in pieces as they were pretty large shrimp. The only other thing wrong was the dang Rolls. That toaster oven is way too hot. I put it on the right setting, and checked it after about 2 min. Set the table and went to check again..Burnt on top. Just can not figure it out. The other 2 ovens we had before took MORE time to cook than what the direction says, but THIS one Geez..not even in there half the time and burns it.
Will definitely try this again soon.

Shrimp is the one seafood I don't eat. I can't stand the texture. Next time you make it, it will turn out perfectly. Have a good week.

Usually use fresh shrimp, but needed a quick fix for supper. Thought the frozen cooked shrimp would maybe be okay since I was using alfredo sauce. Live and learn.

@Ghostlady I never buy fresh simply because I never know when I want to use it. I typically buy frozen cooked and peeled in a larger bag so I can grab what I need for whatever I might be using it for. Stir fry. Salads. Or whatever.
