You can easily adjust this meal based on your nutrition goals, like swapping in whole wheat pasta for more fiber or using less Alfredo sauce to lighten it up.

Cooking the Shrimp

First, I boiled my noodles. While those were cooking, I melted a little butter in a pan and added my frozen shrimp. I kept the seasoning really simple with salt, pepper, and parsley.

Then I cooked the shrimp until they were heated through and coated in butter and seasonings. Then I added Alfredo sauce into the pan with shrimp, mixed everything together and let it warm for a couple of minutes until the noodles were completely coated into the sauce.

Customizing the Meal

It works as well. If you want to lighten it up a little bit, maybe use less Alfredo sauce or choose a lighter version. You can also add:

• broccoli
• spinach
• peas
• or mushrooms right into the pasta for some extra vegetables.

Finish it with a little extra parsley and pepper and dinner is done. Quick, satisfying, easy to customize to work for you.
