We
had a couple of pieces of Steelhead Trout in the
freezer and a half jar of Alfredo sauce in the fridge and decided to combine
the two into a meal – Steelhead are related to Rainbows and similar to Salmon in taste. Bev also found a bag of shrimp and some mixed vegetables
in the freezer to add to the dish.
The
trout and shrimp (on skewers) were given dusting of Old Bay and grilled over high
heat and basted with melted butter after flipping. The
pasta and vegetables were cooked together in water, drained, returned to the
hot pan, and the Alfredo sauce was stirred in.
We plated the pasta mixture and topped with the trout and a few shrimp
then added some fresh grated Parmesan.
This
made for a very tasty and easy semi-homemade dish – perfect for those of you
who need a quick weeknight meal. Of course, it could be gussied up by using fresh vegetables and homemade Alfredo sauce.

Semi homemade is good and works for us too.
ReplyDeleteWe like quick and easy, looks like and awesome meal.
Larry, Looks like a fine meal to me!! I just don't happen to have a little steelhead trout in my freezer... Sam is right, the contents of your freezer are indeed a treasure trove! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteMan oh man Larry - this meal has me drooling. It seriously looks DELICIOUS!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a delicious meal! I caught a nice steelhead last summer....I would have loved it sandwiched between the shrimp and pasta alfredo.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. I am still impressed by your Thanksgiving table. WoW.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy steel-head trout too. What a great preparation and I love those shrimp on top!
ReplyDeleteI've found that some of those jarred Alfredo sauces really aren't that bad.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child and my father could make me go fishing, I loved rainbow trout. I don't think I've ever had steelhead. Alfredo sauce is a good way to dress up anything (veggies optional, of course). Looks like it was a great meal.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were as creative with fridge/freezer items as you. Looks delicious Larry.
ReplyDeleteWow, this dish shows what a well stocked freezer and a good cook can create. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI used to be a fish eating hater. Not anymore. Steelhead trout changed my mind. Wow, this looks fantastic!
