Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create this incredible Shrimp Tortellini with Garlic Sauce:
1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add Cream and Seasoning: Pour in the heavy cream and stir, mixing in the Italian seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked tortellini and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated with the garlic sauce.
