When I'm starving and have zero time, this is my go-to home run recipe. You can go from frozen shrimp to finished dinner in about 20 minutes. It's certainly not low calorie between the cheese and the butter, but when you're hungry, that's exactly what the doctor ordered. It reheats beautifully.
The only difficult part of this dish is not overcooking the shrimp. Are they basically pink all over? STOP and pull the pan off the heat! If your shrimp progress to the curled up stage, they'll still taste good but have an unpleasantly rubbery texture.
Shrimp & Tortellini
serves 4-6
Boil in salted water:
1 lb. fresh cheese tortellini (e.g. Buitoni)
Melt together in a skillet:
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 bunch green onion tops, chopped
Add to skillet and saute over medium until shrimp are just pink:
1 lb. shrimp, peeled
salt and pepper to taste
Drain the tortellini and salt them separately. Toss together shrimp, pan sauce, and pasta.
Add 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese.
Shopping list:
1 lb. fresh cheese tortellini
1 lb. shrimp
1 bunch green onions
