OLD BAY

I know pinterest is popular to look for recipes but I simply google for ideas. I had some leftover chopped grilled chicken, that Billy grilled with salt and pepper. Some shrimp and Penne pasta. I googled chicken and shrimp penne and this recipe popped up. I just recently bought Old Bay seasoning and thought I'd try it. I also chopped up some kale and baby spinach and sautéed them when the recipe instructed to add the shrimp. The recipe said broccoli florets and peas would work too. This dish will definitely make your belly's full and happy. Some times you can't avoid dairy it makes pasta so creamy.

Ingredients:

8 ounces penne pasta (I used whole wheat)
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/2-inch strips
4 teaspoons OLD BAY® Seasoning
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup heavy cream
3 green onions, sliced
1 cup packed chopped Kale
1 cup packed baby spinach
Grated asiago cheese

Directions:

Cook pasta as directed on package.

Coat chicken with 1 teaspoon of OLD BAY. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter on medium heat. Add chicken. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Coat shrimp with 2 teaspoons of OLD BAY. Add shrimp to chicken. Cook while stirring 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.

Mix remaining 1 teaspoon OLD BAY and heavy cream. Stir into skillet with cooked pasta and green onions. Simmer 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and pasta is heated through.

Grate some asiago cheese on top to make it extra creamy! Add a little crushed red pepper to make it SPICY!

Tip:
Grate cheese on top of the cooked pasta to let the cheese stick to the Penne.
