Family Foodies

This is the meal I make when I am kissing up to my husband. It is his FAVORITE!

You will need:

• 1-1 1/2 pounds of shrimp
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of butter
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 16 ounces of cheese filled tortellini
• 1 cup of shredded Mozarella
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Easy directions:

Saute the shrimp in olive oil over medium/low heat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook tortellini according to package instructions.

In microwave, melt butter and garlic together to blend flavors.

Drain tortellini. Place in a large bowl.

Pour garlic butter on tortellini. Immediately add cheeses, allowing cheeses to melt.

Add shrimp. Stir. Enjoy.

Okay so it’s the holiday season and shrimp and pasta aren’t normal holiday fare.

If you want my opinion, though–and I never run out of opinions–I think anything that tastes really good can be classified as holiday fare. The holidays are about celebrating, and we like to celebrate with delicious food. Therefore, in the spirit of the holiday season, I’m offering this recipe. It’s one of my favorites.
