I am not a great cook, I’m good when I want to be, but honestly my mind is usually somewhere else and following recipes is really, really hard for me. Any distraction – 3 kids, the dog, a friend, a flower – and boom, we are having “blackened” food again … usually without the Cajan part. So I started making my food simple. Really simple. I wanted healthy and easy.

Ingredients:

  • Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Butter
  • Parmasean
  • Pepper
  • Pre Cooked Shrimp 
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Zucchini 
  • Olive oil for sautéing
  • Parsley to color and garnish

The Cooking Part …

In a sauce pan melt the butter over low to med heat, when it is melted add the heavy whipping cream and parmesan. Stir off and on while the cheese melts and the ingredients blend. 

Sauté the broccoli and cauliflower in olive oil. I like mine al dente . When you feel like they are done enough for you, add the zucchini and cook a few more minutes. While these cook, I stir the sauce and thaw the shrimp. Add the shrimp as the last piece and sauté just long enough to heat through. Mix all together on the plate and garnish with parsley. 

What to serve with …

Sometimes I also add a pasta, if I am feeling like I need some extra carbohydrate. It’s been good over all pasta (regular and gluten free) options we’ve tried. A little French bread with butter and garlic was yummy too, … And of course … salad goes with everything.
