Bob’S Tortellini And Shrimp In Alfredo Sauce
- 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
- 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 saute 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.
