(Disclosure: I was given a gift card to buy ingredients for this meal but all thoughts are my own.)
Palmolive reached out to me and challenged me to create a meal with the colors of their new line of dish soap. The colors were white, green, and pink. After thinking about it, Sinisa and I decided on shrimp alfredo with broccoli. Asparagus would also work well in this recipe if you aren’t a fan of broccoli. Below the recipe you will find my thoughts on Palmolive’s new line of soaps that I washed the dishes with.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of fully cooked shrimp
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons of basil
- 1 cup of broccoli
- 1/2 pound of rotini pasta
- 1 jar of alfredo sauce
- 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp of red pepper
- 1 tsp of Italian seasoning
Directions to make Shrimp Alfredo:
- Cook your pasta according to packaging directions, drain, and set aside
- Saute garlic in olive oil until garlic is golden brown
- Add shrimp and saute while stirring shrimp until shrimp is fully cooked
- Stir in brocolli and saute for 3 minutes
- Add seasonings, sauce and parmesan cheese
- Let simmer for about 7 minutes
- Add sauce mixture to pot of cooked pasta and stir well
I love Palmolive’s Fresh Sponge dish soaps so I was looking forward to trying their soft touch brand. They have three scents: coconut butter, Aloe, and Vitamin E. The coconut butter is my favorite scent so I used that to clean the dishes.
The dish soap made a lot of bubbles and using the soap with hot water made it possible to quickly wash my dishes {which, by the way, is my least favorite chore}. Less time doing dishes means Sinisa and I have more time to relax at the end of the day. The bonus is that my hands were still soft so he wanted to hold them while we sat on the couch together. Thank you Palmolive!
This recipe looks great! I love to add broccoli to my alfredo and I love palmolive!
