Chesapeake Bay Pasta Chicken and Shrimp

from the McCormick website.

As a native Baltimorean, I was quite excited to find this yummy recipe featuring Baltimore's famous spice! I haven't made this yet, but I can tell from reading it that it going to be SO good.

Chesapeake Bay Pasta Chicken and Shrimp
This chicken and shrimp combination is delectable when added to a nicely seasoned sauce featuring OLD BAY Seasoning.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Makes 5 servings

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/2-inch strips
4 teaspoons OLD BAY Seasoning, divided
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound shrimp*, peeled and deveined
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces penne pasta, cooked and drained
3 green onions, sliced

Directions:
1. Coat chicken with 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Melt butter in large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes per side.
2. Coat shrimp with 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning. Push chicken to one side of skillet; add shrimp. Cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until shrimp turn pink.

3. Mix remaining Old Bay with cream. Add cream mixture, cooked pasta and green onion to skillet. Bring to a boil. Lower heat; simmer 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and pasta is heated through.

Trap-caught or farmed U.S. shrimp is a smart choice. Substitution: Scallops

TIP: Add 1 cup thawed broccoli florets or green peas along with cooked pasta.
