A comforting take on a classic favorite, this low carb shrimp alfredo is sure to please!
My husband recently requested that I make a recipe with shrimp. He loves shrimp, and we don’t often have it at home. Part of the reason is because it seems like a more expensive choice, but it really isn’t too bad.
I bought a large bag of small pre-cooked shrimp at Walmart for around $11. I only used half for this recipe, so we can get two meals out of the one bag. That sounds like a decent deal for me, but I still reserve shrimp for special occasions!
We so enjoyed this dinner. I served it over Dreamfield’s Pasta and we had a side salad to go with it. I know there are mixed feelings about Dreamfields, but the official THM stance is that it is okay as a personal choice item once every week or two. I haven’t had any problems using it, but if you are uncomfortable with it, feel free to serve this Alfredo over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. I think spaghetti squash would be particularly delicious!

November 1, 2018 at 4:10 pmThis looks really good. But isnt this more of a cross over meal with the heavy cream and cheese, then pasta etc?

November 2, 2018 at 8:34 amHi Renita, this recipe uses Dreamfields noodles, which are a Personal Choice item for Trim Healthy Mamas. The noodles can be used in any fuel setting, so this recipe is still an S. (The noodles have a special coating on them that keeps your body from absorbing them as a carb source.)
