Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp...or so you thought

My co-worker discovered this tofu "pasta" called Shiritaki.  It's tofu that's supposed to replicate the shape, texture and taste of pasta without the guilt of consuming millions of calories and carbs.  We were going to order it online, but it turns out Whole Foods carries it.  Yahoo!!!  I figured I'd give it a try...a true foodie tries everything!  

The best part about this was it was SUPER easy.  It probably took a total of 5 minutes from start to finish.  The taste, while not exactly pasta, is different, but good.  Needless to say, I'm sold!  I bought a half dozen more packages since they taste good, they're easy to make, and last a while in the fridge. 

Ingridients:

• 1 package of tofu shirataki fettuccine
• 2 teaspoons of sour cream (I used low-fat)
• 2 teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shrimp
• salt/pepper to taste

* the recipe on the package called for 2 teaspoons of cream cheese, but I didn't have that and it still tasted good without it.

Directions:

Drain and rinse the whole package of shirataki fettuccine.  Pat dry with paper towels as much as you can and microwave for 1-2 min.  Meanwhile, start sauteing the shrimp in a pan.  Once the shrimp is cooked add the shirataki fettuccine, sour cream, Parmesan cheese heat all the way through.  Add salt and pepper.  Enjoy!
