Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cheese tortellini
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and heat through, but do not let it boil.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked tortellini and shrimp back to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to ensure everything is coated evenly in the sauce.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
