Alfredo Pasta is one of my kid’s favorite dishes. They wanted Alfredo Pasta one day, but I wasn’t feeling pasta. I know it was kid’s choice night but I needed to find a compromise. Something that would accommodate everyone. HMMM.. I got it, Baked potatoes.

Baked Potatoes are like tacos. It’s a blank canvas that you can add any topping to. This Loaded Shrimp Alfredo Potato was a HIT!
