Ingredients

– 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
– 1 package (9-12 ounces) refrigerated tortellini

– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

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.

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.

6. Adjust Flavor: Taste the dish and add additional salt and pepper if needed.

7. Serve Immediately: Transfer to serving bowls or plates, garnishing with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

8. Enjoy: Dig in while it’s warm for the best flavor experience!
