A whole stick of butter!!!! That's 4 ounces - a quarter of a pound! We are a family of two and don't use that much butter in a 7-day week. My arteries are clogging up just thinking about it. An alternate cooking method would be to lightly brush your chicken breasts with some melted butter and heavily dust with the Cajun seasoning (preferably one low in salt) broil until cooked. Set aside keeping warm. Saute the vegetables and shrimp with no more than 1 tablespoon of butter (olive oil is better or half oil half butter). When shrimp is done, slice the chicken in strips, add to veggies shrimp and stir in pan to combine spoon equally over pasta in bowls and enjoy a much healthier dinner.
