Tips and Tricks
Buy precooked shrimp to cut cooking time. The easiest way to slice green onions is by cutting them with kitchen shears. I used fettuccine instead of linguine because that was what I had in the cabinet.
Make It Healthier
Use fat free cream and part-skim reduced fat cheese. I used Old Bay for seafood seasoning, but my husband said I probably could use less than the recipe called for to reduce the salt without affecting the taste. Use whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose, and margarine in place of butter.
How Kids Can Help
Measure dry ingredients. Older kids can peel and devein the shrimp or shred the cheese.
