Clearly I can't count because in the video I say I'm sharing 6 dinners but I actually share 7, oops! :)

It was really yummy! The mozzarella pearls made it seem a little fancier too :)

These look great! We are a family of eight. My kids' favorite weeknight meal is shrimp pasta. I cook a bag of frozen, peeled shrimp in a stick of melted butter with about a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning. As the shrimp thaws and cooks, the water from the frozen shrimp acts like a seafood stock mixed with the butter and seasoning to make a sauce. Then once the shrimp is done (only takes about ten minutes to go from frozen to cooked) we just put that over any kind of cooked pasta. If I have fresh spinach, I add a few handfuls of that at the end to make it a complete meal. I love that it's done in the same amount of time the pasta cooks and I don't have to remember to defrost anything. It's even faster if the shrimp is already cooked. If I have pre-cooked shrimp, I make the pasta in the Instant Pot and then add the butter, seasoning, and shimp after the pasta is done so I don't have to stand over the stove.

Ooh that sounds amazing!! And easy! I’ll have to introduce my kids to shrimp, they’ve never had it but I love it. 😋

@@TheTexMexMom I love it, too. One of our local stores has the frozen bags on sale for $5 often. Just be careful when introducing a possible allergen like shellfish to younger kiddos. My brother has a peanut allergy, so I'm extra cautious about that now.

Everything looked great! I might have added some fruit in with breakfast for dinner but that’s just us.

Ooh yes that definitely would’ve added to our meal. I hadn’t done my weekly grocery order yet so most of our fresh fruit was long gone 😅
