Grilled Shrimp

These are the best grilled shrimp. Lots of flavor !! This also is great on wings too

For the rub

1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 tablespoons brown sugar
For the shrimp
2 tablespoons olive oil (give or take)
2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1. In a 1 gal plastic food bag place shrimp and olive oil, toss to coat, sprinkle enough rub to lightly coat the shrimp. The bag should look dark red.
2. Refrigerate for 1-4 hrs, the longer you wait the hotter they'll be.
3. Light the grill and while it's heating place shrimp on skewers.
4. When coals are very hot, clean the area that the shrimp will be on and rub with a bit of canola oil on a rag (use a mitt please) or spray with non stick spray.
5. Immediately place shrimp on greased grill for 2-3 minutes, turn and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
6. Remove from skewers and serve hot.

Jumbo Shrimp Parmesan

This came out good. I only had smaller size shrimp in my freezer so I used them instead.

Jumbo Shrimp Parmesan

12 jumbo shrimp (10 to 12 count per lb)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove minced garlic
salt and pepper
1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 medium lemon, cut in wedges

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
2. Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails intact.
3. Mix together olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Add shrimp and toss lightly to coat.
5. Refrigerate 30 minutes to an hour.
6. In shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
7. Place each shrimp in bread crumb mixture and turn them to lightly coat both sides. Arrange shrimp so that they aren't touching each other in a ungreased 9 x 13 pan.
8. Drizzle with melted butter.
9. Place pan on the center rack of oven and bake for 10 minutes or until done.
10. Serve immediately with lemon wedges

Easy Alfredo

This is really easy and tastes great. I follow a low carb diet so this is perfect for me, not so much for anyone on WW or a low calorie diet.
I made this with shrimp, pasta and a side salad for dinner (no pasta for me, too many carbs). I also put some hot pepper flakes in mine for some extra spice.

Easy Alfredo Sauce

1 Pint heavy cream
1 stick butter
2 Tbsp Cream Cheese
3/4 Cup Fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Garlic Powder

1. In a sauce pan combine butter, and heavy cream and cream cheese.
2. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well.
3. Add the Parmesan Cheese and Garlic Powder.
4. Simmer this for 15-20 minutes on low.
5. You may add salt and pepper if you'd like.
