Notes:
This recipe is EASY & DELICIOUS! Seriously felt like I was eating from Macaroni Grill! I picked this recipe up out of The Crossroads Journal newspaper. It was a hit in our home! Some pointers, I used whole wheat pasta noodles to make it a bit healthier. Also I didn't have fresh Parmesan on hand, so I substituted fresh mozzarella. I also used about only half of the amount requested for the cheese. I did use dry parsley & it brought great flavor. The shrimp I used was pre-cooked w/ tails, just bought at Walmart in the frozen section. I thawed the shrimp, rinsed them & just threw them in as is. It was super easy & oh so good!
