Creamy Tomato Shrimp Pasta By Kelly Miller • June16,2015 • Updated January 17, 2020 • 9 Comments 678 Jump to Recipe Sauteed shrimp and garlic in a tomato & Alfredo sauce, served over penne pasta with fresh parsley and Romano cheese – restaurant quality dinner at home! Summer is the time for seafood, am I right?! When we were on vacation last week, all Paul wanted to do was to find a nice sit-down seafood restaurant and splurge. So while we were taking a drive, we found a good looking place that had some outdoor seating and we knew we had to try it. Splurge does not even begin to describe that meal!I know, I know – what did we expect ordering seafood at beach? Scallops, crab imperial, flounder… delish. But of course it’s going to be expensive. And if I’m completely honest with you, it really wasn’t the best seafood either. Just kind of average. We were a bit disappointed – especially for being one block from the Atlantic Ocean! We all like the idea of recreating our favorite restaurant meals, but I think a lot of us who cook at home for our families are intimidated with cooking with seafood. Probably because of the price. But when you compare with what a similar dish that you would eat out… well, the price really doesn’t compare at all! The total price of this dinner was around $17. Did you read that? Our entire family of 4 ate a delicious, restaurant-quality dinner, for under $20 – and there was leftovers! Now I know that might not be something you can budget for every night, but once a week or so? That’s WAY better than eating out! Top it off with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and Romano cheese and dinner is served. You really have to try this one!
