Skinny Shrimp Alfredo

     One of my favorite meals is Shrimp Alfredo.  But as we all know, alfredo sauce is not that great for you.  I recently bought a jar of Bertolli Light Alfredo sauce.  It's only 50 calories per quarter cup.  This is not too bad if measured out properly.  As I researched alfredo based recipes, all I found was pasta dishes.  So I decided to lighten it up and leave the pasta out!

Skinny Shrimp Alfredo
Ingredients: 2 cups of medium white shrimp, peeled and de-veined with tail off
1/4 cup Light Alfredo sauce
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 package of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup of baby spinach
1 tablespoon of canola or olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions: In a medium fry pan, heat oil over medium heat.  Saute onion until translucent and fragrant, just a couple of minutes.  Add shrimp and cook until pink all the way around.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add baby spinach and tomatoes.  Let everything cook down and soften.  Add Alfredo sauce and stir thoroughly.  Allow everything to sit and meld together.  It's so delicious!  Enjoy!
