Creamy Shrimp Tortellini Delight


  • Author: Chef Lalybeth

Description

A quick and elegant one-pan meal featuring plump shrimp, cheese-filled tortellini, and a rich, creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 20 oz package cheese tortellini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the tortellini cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Return the cooked shrimp and tortellini to the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat in the sauce and heat through. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
