Pasta, shrimp, alfredo sauce...what's not to love?! Shrimp Alfredo Tortellini is an easy-to-make recipe that tastes a lot more complicated than it really is!

Equipment

1 large pot
1 or 2 skillets
1 colander

Ingredients

1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
1 package refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini large
¾ cup butter divided
1½ cups heavy cream
4 cloves garlic minced and divided
2 cups Parmesan cheese grated
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Instructions

Prepare cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain in a colander once finished cooking.
While pasta cooks, heat ¼ cup butter in a large skillet. When it has melted, add the shrimp and half of the minced garlic. Sauté 3-4 minutes per side. Once both sides are pink, remove the shrimp to a platter.
In the same or a new skillet (your choice), add the remaining ½ cup butter and 1½ cups cream. Heat until warm and butter has melted. Whisk in remaining garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in shredded Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has completely melted.
Once all ingredients are ready, place tortellini on a plate or in a bowl. Spoon Alfredo sauce over the pasta, and then top with shrimp. Add extra Italian seasoning if you'd like!
