On the menu tonight – Shrimp Tetrazinni!
When I made the Turkey Tetrazzini recently, I was raving about how good it was to my wife. Since she doesn’t eat meat, I was telling her I could make a seafood version with shrimp. That was a couple of weeks ago and last night she was asking when I planned to make the seafood version. So THAT is what I’m making tonight.
Since I used shrimp instead of turkey, I made a few changes to this dish and it turned out really well. I left out the peas and I changed the seasoning a little. Just like the other version, this Shrimp Tetrazzini will feed a crowd. The best part about this dish is how quickly it comes together, especially if you buy the shrimp pre-shelled and without tails.
I hope you will try my version of Shrimp Tetrazinni and let me know how it turns out.
