    A healthier version of creamy shrimp and linguine recipe with a touch of old bay seasoning.
    Velvet Shrimp
    Velvet Shrimp is a creamy lower calorie seafood and pasta dish that has a slightly spicy kick in it from old bay seasoning. Delicious and perfect for a romantic dinner with your Grumpy!
     
    Velvet Shrimp

    This is a recipe from years ago out of what was formally Light & Tasty Magazine and I believe is not Healthy Cooking - a Taste of Home magazine.  I used to make this dish often but since moving to Albany hadn't done so....and that has been almost 2 years ago already!  Time sure does fly!  I have blogged this before, but  because it was in my early days and the photos weren't spectacular, I decided to blog it again with some new photos!

     This is a creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy dish and I'm so glad that I remembered and made it again as it is one of my favorites.

      Boy, I hear you Shelby, I'm having trouble posting as well. I'm still cooking, just sticking to a lot of old favorites...nothing "blog worthy" lol. "Velvet Shrimp" is such a GREAT name!! I really want to try this, but you say its slightly spicey which hubby freaks out about. Is it the Old Bay that is spicey? I've never used it.
