Hi Dave,


 DD> Funny you shold bring this up right now. I was defrosting the freezer
 DD> and came across a bag of tail-off shrimp buried in the frost. NOTE TO
 DD> SELF: Check Best Buy for that self-defrosting freezer.

I do like our self defrosting freezer, same with the fridge freezer.
I've defrosted many freezers over my lifetime and various moves; it's
nice not to have to worry about that any more.


 RH> I might try it soon myself. Recently I was browsing thru a cook book
 RH> put out by the Rocky Mount Junior League, came across the following. I
 RH> had a pack of shrimp in the freezer from some time ago, cut the recipe
 RH> in half and had a supper that we'll repeat.

 RH> VIDALIA SHRIMP SAUTE OVER ANGEL HAIR PASTA

 RH> 30 ounces angel hair pasta
 RH> (I subbed in buckwheat noodles (soba) that had been in the pantry for a
 RH> while.)
 RH> 1/4 c olive oil
 RH> 2 cloves garlic, chopped
 RH> 2 green peppers, sliced in strips
 RH> 2 red peppers, sliced in strips

 DD> Bell peppers? Or poblano/NuMex?

First time making; I used bells but may try others next time around.
Don't want to overpower the shrimps tho.


 DD> Looks like a decent recipe. If Vidalia onions are not in season you
 DD> can sub nearly any yellow (sweet) onion icluding the Texas 1084.

Or the Maui sweet, used enough of them over almost 6 years in HI. They
work well in something like this.


 DD> Anyway I made this recipe I invented when living at my brother's house
 DD> for medical recovery a few years ago. It was a hit then and it was
 DD> again last night. Real Alfredo would use fettucine noodles. But, I
 DD> prefer the thinner linguine or spaghetti. And it's a poor cook who
 DD> can't suit himself.  Bv)=


 DD>       Title: Shrimp & Broccoli (sort of) Alfredo
 DD>  Categories: Seafood, Sauces, Pasta, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

 RH> Looks good, I had a Wegman's heat & serve (with chicken and penne
 RH> pasta) version of this last week. Pan said one serving, I had it over 2
 RH> meals. It was ok, not great, not bad with only 3 pieces of broccoli in
 RH> the whole thing. Don't know if I would buy it again but Steve had his
 RH> VFW meeting and I didn't have anything in the fridge that looked
 RH> appealing,

 DD> I sometimes nuke up a Healthy Choice selection then let one of the fur
 DD> kids pre-wash the container. I really like when Hy-Vee puts them on a
 DD> special for under U$3 ea. Great price and good (also convenient) food.

I've tried some of the different pre made things from Wegman's when
Steve has a supper meal. A bit more on the pricey side but they're made
up fresh and are generous enough to make 2 meals of it.
