Other Recipes You Might Like
Since my little boy loves pasta, and he also loves cheese, I have started to experiment making tortellini for him. And guess what? He is hooked!
Well, come to think about it, there is nothing not to love about tortellini, you can toss them with some garlic and protein of your choice (shrimp or chicken) for a quick and delicious meal, or you can make them into hearty soups.
Personally, I love tortellini in a pasta dish, they are so flavorful already and a bit of seasonings are all you need, just like this amazing garlic shrimp tortellini.
You know me, I will cook everything with shrimp if I can, and with tortellini, it’s a no brainer. Some olive oil, garlic, shrimp, dashes of white wine, salt and pepper are all you need.
To jazz up the taste and presentation, I added sun-dried tomato, which is my absolute favorite thing to eat, and you have a “refined” and utterly scrumptious pasta dish that rivals the taste of your favorite Italian restaurants.
Don’t believe me? Try this garlic shrimp tortellini recipe and judge yourself.
