Shrimp Alfredo

I got this recipe from craigslist. 

You never know where you'll find a good recipe.

We were picking up a bed that we had bought

 on craigslist. While the husbands were loading

 all the pieces into our van I was in the kitchen 

while the young mom was making dinner for 

her family. Good thing! 

 The ingredients: shrimp, onion, mushrooms,
seasonings and a jar of alfredo sauce.
I didn't think I would like the jarred sauce,
 but I was wrong!. Begin by cooking the pasta.
 That will take the longest. 

 Saute the shrimp with garlic and seasonings
 until the shrimp just begin to turn opaque;

 then remove from the pan.

 Add the mushrooms and onion to skillet
 and saute. Add more oil if needed.

 Cook until tender then remove from heat and
combine with the reserved shrimp.

 Add alfredo sauce to the pasta and toss well.

 Add a little pasta water to the sauce jar and shake. 

Add to the pasta. You want it nice and saucy.

 Then combine the alfredo sauced pasta with
the mushroom mixture and shrimp.

 Pile it onto a large platter.

Surround with steamed broccoli. 

That's how she served it.

Craigslist Shrimp, easy and quick and yummy!
