To make this pasta dish, I started by cooking some cheese tortellini according to the directions on the package.

I drained the tortellini and set it aside.

Then I dropped some butter into a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the butter was melted I dropped some peeled and deveined shrimp into the skillet.

I added some minced garlic to the skillet with the shrimp.

I cooked the shrimp until it was pink and opaque.

Then I removed the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set it aside.

I added some Italian seasoning to the skillet.

I stirred well.

Then I added some heavy cream to the skillet.

I also added some salt and pepper to the skillet.

I stirred well and brought the cream to a boil.

Then I reduced the heat to low and left the sauce to simmer and thicken, stirring frequently, for about eight minutes.

Once the sauce had thickened, I added the cooked tortellini to the skillet.

I stirred until all of the tortellini was coated in sauce.

Then I added some shredded parmesan to the skillet.

I stirred until the cheese was melted.

I returned the cooked shrimp to the skillet.

I stirred the shrimp into the pasta.

Then I topped the pasta with fresh chopped parsley.

Then the creamy shrimp tortellini alfredo was ready to serve.

This dish combines the exquisite flavors of tender shrimp, delicate cheese-filled tortellini, and a luxuriously creamy alfredo sauce.

I served my shrimp alfredo with some fresh lemon slices.

The rich, creamy sauce, with garlic and parmesan, perfectly complements the tender shrimp and pasta.

Shrimp tortellini is the perfect choice for a special occasion or a decadent weeknight meal.

This recipe can also be used with different types of pasta.
