Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using diced chicken breasts, follow same instructions as shrimp in Steps 2 and 3, baking uncovered in hot oven until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 20-25 minutes.

  • If using diced chicken thighs, follow same instructions as above. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Turn oven on to 400 degrees. Let preheat, at least 10 minutes. Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry.

    Combine pasta, corn, diced peppers, salsa (to taste), cream cheese, 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper in a mixing bowl.

    Transfer pasta mixture to provided tray and spread into an even layer. Cream cheese will melt as meal bakes.

  2. 2

    Add the Shrimp

    Drain shrimp thoroughly. Pat dry.

    Top pasta with shrimp.

  3. 3

    Bake the Meal

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 20-25 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Stir in chipotle butter (to taste) and half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for topping) until melted and creamy. Crush tortilla strips.

    To serve, top with remaining shredded cheese and tortilla strips. Bon appétit!
