OLD BAY® SHRIMP AND PASTA ALFREDO
This recipe came from my Italian family. It is not only delicious but so quick and easy. Measurements really aren't necessary--make it your own. You can't go wrong with too much seasoning or too little. Go easy on the lemon is my only recommendation. Unless you love lemon! Adding Parmesan cheese is really delish and the Alfredo sauce gives it a nice hot and creamy texture.

This is a creamy, garlicky and buttery dish that is easy to prepare. Your entire kitchen will smell amazing while preparing this dish. This is one your mouth will definitely enjoy. This recipe is not for those who are looking for low calories or fat. Go easy on the salt because Parmesan is naturally a salty cheese. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did.
