Shrimp Alfredo

Things needed

your choice of pasta, I like to use linguini or fetticini (probably spelled wrong).

cream of mushroom soup

grated parmesan cheese, (fresh, not dried).

I use peeled, cooked, deveined, tail off frozen shrimp. The choice is yours, use salad shrimp if you want.

Last, but definately not least, frozen brocoli florets.

cook pasta and brocoli according to package directions, thaw or cook shrimp and drain well.

put soup, brocoli, shrimp in pan add parm cheese then the pasta, heat through. IT is ready to dive in as soon as it is hot and cheese is melted.

I did not include measurements, because for me it is all 1.

1 pkg or large can.

CHICKEN QUESADILLA

6 soft flour tortillas
2 lbs. chicken breast cut into cubes
1 large red pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons Adobo seasoning (or any of your favorite seasonings)
one package of grated mexican cheese mix
oil
butter
sour cream

In a hot skillet, heat some oil. Add the chopped chicken, onions, peppers, and seasoning to the skillet. Fry, stirring frequently, until chicken is cooked. Remove from heat.

Assemble quesadilla:

Place flour tortillas on a flat surface. On each tortilla, cover one half of the area with the fried chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese mix. Fold each tortilla in half. Preheat oven to 400F. Place assembled quesadillas in a non-stick cookie sheet (I usually line the cookie sheet with either wax paper or aluminum foil to avoid the clean up afterward). Place quesadillas in oven for about 10 minutes. Once the tortillas are out of the oven, slice each quesadilla in half (making 12), and serve immediately with sour cream, guacamole, or any of your other favorite dips.
This makes a great appetizer or snack for a get together.
Enjoy!
