Safely Thawing Shrimp

It's great to have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer for a quick meal. Thaw frozen shrimp in the refrigerator, not on the counter top. Or place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water and change the water every 10 min. until the shrimp are completely thawed.

My 7 year old and husband both think this is one of the best things I've made. I prepared the sugar snap peas on the side, which I prefer, but followed the recipe after that. Very very good!

I'd probably make again - one son ate all the shrimp (but left the snap peas) - the other son ate all the snap peas (and left the shrimp). Suppose that makes it a success. Had to use pre-cooked frozen deveined shrimp as that is all I could fine - thawed them first and just warmed them up. Used the Philadelphia Herb & Garlic Cooking Creme instead of cream cheese. It was a nice taste, I'd make again every few months.

this is a wonderful take on fettucine alfredo! I hate bottled sauces and sauce mix packets...this was delish! I did let the sauce "bubble" a bit to thicken and I sprinkled a touch of fresh parmesan into it. This will be a hit when people come over for dinner - quick, easy and super yummy!!!

This recipe was fantastic and super easy. It fed four of us with a bit to spare. This is definitely one of my new favourites.

The shrimp and sugar peas is an excellent combo. I found the sauce a little thin. I used low fat cream cheese so next time I might use regular.

This is so simple, and so delicious! The snap peas add a nice crunch. I might try low fat cream cheese next time, but this was great!!!
