Shrimp Pasta for Two
Ingredients:
marketside, balsamic vinaigrette dressing,
crustaceans, shrimp, raw (not previously frozen)
cheese, parmesan, hard
spices, basil, dried
noodles, egg, dry, unenriched
cheese, parmesan, hard
Directions:
Marinate the shrimp in the vinaigrette for 20 minutes or so.
Drain the shrimp, retaining the marinade.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook shrimp until pink, about 3 minutes.
Remove shrimp from skillet and keep warm.
Place marinade, cream cheese and half of the basil in the skillet.
Cook and stir until well blended; return shrimp to pan and continue cooking until heated thoroughly, stirring occasionally.
To serve, place a mount of noodles on plate; top with shrimp and sauce mixture.
Sprinkle with remaining basil and the shredded parmesan cheese.
You can also add fresh chopped tomatoes for extra flavor, color and texture.
I only bought the shrimp and basil to make this meal; all other ingredients came from my pantry and fridge.
Half a pound of shrimp cost $3.00, and the portion of basil I used about $0.50.
The pasta was free, using coupons at a Harris Teeter doubling event, and I paid less that $1.00 for the entire package of cream cheese, making the portion I used about $0.25.
Making my own vinaigrette cost pennies, as did shredding the Parmesan from a block.
I would estimate the cost of this main dish to be around $4.00 0r less.
The additional side dishes and bread would bring the total to somewhere between $5.00 or $6.00.
Not bad for an elegant anniversary dinner!
