How to make this shrimp Alfredo with spinach and tomatoes
Start by placing water, skim milk, and butter into a skillet and bring it to a boil. Don’t substitute margarine; butter makes all the difference in the flavor.

Mix in the packet of Knorr’s Alfredo sauce mix and continue heating for about six minutes.

Heat the olive oil in a separate fry pan, add the shrimp and cook until just pink. Make sure not to overcook the shrimp.
Set aside and keep warm.

Cut the grape tomatoes in half.
I use organic baby spinach.

Five minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the tomatoes and spinach. Stir to mix well. Cover with a lid and allow the spinach to wilt.
Stir often. (takes just a few minutes.)

Add the cooked shrimp and serve with pasta and a nice salad. Enjoy!

This shrimp recipe is seriously delicious. The Alfredo sauce is light and not at all overpowering.
The spinach adds the most unbelievably fresh taste to the dish. I will definitely put this on my list of must-have dishes for busy weeknights.

I was so excited to make this recipe full of my favorite ingredients but something was off. It had a bitter aftertaste which I think was from the spinach leaves or perhaps the cherry tomatoes weren’t ripe enough. I welcome any suggestions?

I'm not sure what to suggest. Mine wasn't bitter at all. The only thing I can think if is what you suggested. The spinach leave might have left that taste.

im going to make this dish for tonight's dinner. It doesn't say but I'm assuming the pkt of Alfredo sauce gets mixed into the milk mixture. It looks yummy!

Hi Pat. The first direction in the recipe card shows how to use it. Add the water, milk and butter to a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir in the contents of the Knorr sides Alfredo mix and cook for about 6 minutes.. I will add those notes to the post above too. Carol
