Garlic Pepper Shrimp
with Three Cheese Tortellini and Andouille Sausage
This recipe came about as a result of canvasing my pantry and fridge for dinner possibilities. I just so happened to have some jumbo shrimp and andouille sausage. The decision was then to decided whether to serve it over rice or pasta. Fresh three cheese tortellini was a different spin I decided to use. This recipe will also be excellent using a creamy base similar to our Shrimp and Grits recipe.
