Whoohoo, this large family cooking video is during week three of my current large family freezer and pantry challenge!
I cooked up 4 lbs of homemade easy Shrimp Alfredo in the dutch oven. The kids had it over brown rice from the Instant Pot and I had it over cauliflower rice.
Also, digging deep in the pantry staples, I whipped up about 4 dozen homemade oatmeal walnut cookies for the kids to take as part of their lunches to homeschool group the next day.
I publically embarrass myself while cooking the shrimp in today’s video because I didn’t think to defrost them first. Several YouTube viewers reminded me in the comments I can quickly defrost shrimp using the cold water defrost method. This defrosts the shrimp in about 5 minutes simply by running cold water over them.
But alas, I’m just a mom trying to cook up enough food quickly for my hungry army of people who look just like me :). I didn’t give a moments notice to quickly defrosting the shrimp. So note to you, defrost
