I was looking for something to eat for supper and browsed what I had on hand and I came up with this recipe. Ingredients:
1 pint heavy cream |
1/2 cup butter |
4 ounces cream cheese |
1 leek, thinly sliced |
3/4 cup parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon garlic powder, add in more to suit your taste if you prefer |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1 lb frozen shrimp (i prefer using salad shrimp) |
1 lb cheese tortellini pasta, cooked and drained |
garnish with parsley or chives, for decoration |
Directions:
1. Cook tortellini as directed on package. Meanwhile, thaw the frozen shrimp in a colander using cold running water. Remove the tails. If using uncooked shrimp, devein and remove tails and then sauté in a teaspoon of the butter. Remove shrimp and set aside. Do not overcook. In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Leeks, Parmesan Cheese and garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 – 20 minutes over low heat. Toss the tortellini with the shrimp and sauce, coating well. Add the parsley or chives and serve.
