Tortellini

Method

Tortellini Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Tortellini

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cheese-filled tortellini according to package instructions until al dente, typically about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Blackened Shrimp Preparation

  1. 2

    Season the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with the blackening spice until evenly coated.

  2. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Garlic Cream Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Garlic Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the shrimp, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine and Serve

  1. 6

    Mix Everything Together

    Add the cooked tortellini and blackened shrimp to the skillet with the garlic cream sauce. Toss gently to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
