Garlicky Shrimp Alfredo Bake
I was on Facebook and seen this recipe and fell in love. The first time I made this recipe. I had several plates. It was sooooo good. The Mister asked if I could make it again that week. I was like, ummm no! He also asked if I could make it again while we had guests over as a side dish. I had to explain to him that their would be none left if I made it for our guest. It's that good! I'm not sharing :) I love how super easy this recipe is to make. Cleanup is a breeze, and it doesn't take too long to make.

Ooo I do love garlic. I don't like seafood though, but I'd make everything else and leave out the shrimp.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely scrumptious!! I would love to try it out with chicken as well!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing and I don't even like shrimp! But you had me at garlicky. I love anything garlicky. Garlic breath is actually pretty wonderful to me. (I'm gross, I know).
ReplyDeleteOh this looks and sounds yummy! I love a simple pasta dish that's loaded with flavor that I can just toss in the oven. I'll definitely be trying it this winter. Thanks for sharing!

Not a huge fan of cheese on seafood, but this looks like something I need to put in my mouth!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a great dish to take to our next family potluck, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis looks a lot simpler than I thought it might. How crazy is it that those circulating facebook recipes are so good? We had the comforting chicken and noodles (crockpot) and my husband recommended an immediate repeat of the dish, LOL.
I'm allergic to seafood but it looks delicious!
