Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked tortellini, shrimp, and Alfredo sauce. Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh tortellini for the best texture, but frozen works in a pinch.
- For extra richness, add ½ cup of cream cheese to the Alfredo sauce.
- Substitute shrimp with chicken or mushrooms for a different twist.
- Broil for the last 2 minutes for an extra crispy cheese topping.
