Ingredients
Scale
Seafood & Pasta
- 1 package (12 oz) SeaPak Shrimp Scampi
- 9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
Vegetables & Herbs
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, sliced
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
Other
- 1/4 cup water
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Cook the Shrimp Scampi: Heat a medium skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the SeaPak Shrimp Scampi package contents and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through and the sauce has mostly evaporated.
- Add Tortellini and Vegetables: Stir in the refrigerated cheese tortellini, sliced sun-dried tomatoes, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, and 1/4 cup of water to the pan. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Simmer Until Tortellini is Cooked: Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 6-8 minutes. This allows the tortellini to cook through and absorb the flavors. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Finish with Fresh Basil and Serve: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the fresh sliced basil. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- SeaPak Shrimp Scampi usually comes pre-seasoned with garlic butter sauce, making this dish very flavorful and quick to prepare.
- If you prefer, use fresh cheese tortellini instead of refrigerated for a softer texture.
- Adjust the amount of water if necessary to prevent sticking during simmering.
- Optional Parmesan cheese adds a salty and creamy finish but can be omitted for a lighter dish.
- This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
