1 pound shrimp, steamed
1 pound cheese tortellini, cooked as directed, drained
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, crushed or to taste
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2/3 cup half & half, cream or condensed skim milk
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or more to taste
1 dash cayenne, optional

directions

In a pot large enough to hold all ingredients, melt margarine, remove from heat and add cream, sherry, Parmesan and flour.

Whisk well and add garlic, Cajun seasoning and pepper, heat until sauce thickens. Add more cream (or plain milk) if too thick or whisk milk and flour together and add if too thin. Add shrimp and tortellini, stir gently until heated through and serve.

My entire family loves this recipe. We saute onions and peppers to include in the sauce. We make our own cajun seasoning and make sure their is plenty of it. Tortilleni can be pricey for a lot of mouths, so can substitue for raviolis. The fresher the ingredients the better this dish is.

Too much garlic, very bland, all around a sloppy messy dish that has no flavor. I threw it in the garbage.
