Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Prepare using 4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, cubed.

To Double

For 4 servings, prepare as directed using 1 tub (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread and doubling all other ingredients.

Safely Thawing Shrimp

It's great to have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer for a quick meal. Thaw frozen shrimp in the refrigerator, not at room temperature. Or, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water and change the water every 10 min. until the shrimp are completely thawed.

Thie recipe was tasty. I added mushrooms, onions and I added a whole tub of cream cheese. I also added a little more tyme. I also used grape tomatoes instead of 2 whole tomatoes It was delish! I thought of adding a clove or two of garlic next time I make it.

This was very easy to prepare and my family loved it. Even I liked it, and I dont like Tomatoes nor Spinach!! After reading the reviews, I seasoned the shrimp with Old Bay before cooking; and melted butter with minced garlic before adding tomatoes and shrimp. It turned out great, and seemed to need no extra seasonings.

Excellent "base" recipe. Needs your personal touch! I doubled the recipe and added 1 tsp. Minced garlic, 1/3 cup white wine, 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper and 1/2 tsp salt. My husband said it was a do-over.

Simple and easy recipe to add things to and make yours. Yes by itself making this recipe as is is bland but a good cook can tell that just by looking at it. Definately you need to add salt if nothing else to the recipe. I added all my favorites, muchroom, garlic, hot pepper. You can add as much as you like or whatever other veggies you like to this recipe to make it more healthy. I added my asian veggies medley that I usually use for stir fry. Yummyyyyyyy.

This was a great meal! I give it 4 stars because it doesn't call for ANY seasoning, but I really seasoned mine up, pepper, season all, oregano, and garlic. I had a taste pre-season and had to add some stuff! Next time I may add some fresh basil too. MmMMm
