Steve Force Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I cannot take claim to this recipe (original link from Old Bay here), but I do like it especially with the twist I put on it. SHRIMP & CHICKEN PENNE Classic Chesapeake Bay flavor in a rich, buttery pasta overflowing with hearty chunks of chicken and plump pink shrimp. Every belly will be full after this meal. We promise. 10m PREP TIME 20m COOK TIME 475 CALORIES INGREDIENTS 8 ounces penne pasta 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in 1/2-inch strips 4 teaspoons OLD BAY® Classic Seafood Seasoning 1 tablespoon butter 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 cup heavy cream 3 green onions, sliced Cook pasta as directed on package. Coat chicken with 1 teaspoon of OLD BAY. In a large nonstick skillet melt butter on medium heat. Add chicken. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. Coat shrimp with 2 teaspoons of OLD BAY. Add shrimp to chicken. Cook while stirring 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Mix remaining 1 teaspoon OLD BAY and heavy cream. Stir into skillet with cooked pasta and green onions. Simmer 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and pasta is heated through. So, what is my twist? Very simple. I make this in a cast-iron frying pan, preheat the oven to high broil, then after it it is ready on the stove, I put it into the oven close to the broiler for about two minutes. Just enough to get it nice and toasty on top. Well worth the effort… 2 Steve Force, Durham, North Carolina -------- My Professional Websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threadslayer Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'll have to try this one. I've never used Old Bay on anything except fish and shellfish. Pretty impressed that something which sounds so tasty comes in at 475 Calories too. Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Force Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Easy to make, and comes out very very tasty. Especially if you finish it in the broiler! Check it out!

My wife has an unnatural affection for the stuff. She even puts it on buttered corn. Old Bay French Fries are pretty great, too… dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Force Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 Upon popular request by all here in my crib, I made it again. Simple meal, this and fresh green beans steamed with a bit of butter and white wine. It all disappeared quickly....
