Steelhead Trout with Pasta Alfredo

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.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  5. Looks like a delicious meal! I caught a nice steelhead last summer....I would have loved it sandwiched between the shrimp and pasta alfredo.

  8. I've found that some of those jarred Alfredo sauces really aren't that bad.

  9. When 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.
