Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions or to your taste. Drain and return to hot pan. Toss pasta with basil Alfredo sauce, a lot or a little, it’s up to you, cover pan and keep warm.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers. Season shrimp with blackened seasoning. Grill over medium high until just done, about 5-8 minutes, turning once. Do not overcook or shrimp will be rubbery. Time depends on grill, heat and size of shrimp, so watch carefully.
- Place a small mound of pasta on each plate and top with blackened shrimp. Garnish with basil leaves. Serve with toasted parmesan garlic baguette slices if desired.
Notes
*Basil Alfredo is available in a jar by Bertolli, Ragu, or Stonewall Kitchen, or simply add fresh chopped basil to any homemade or prepared Alfredo sauce
