19 oz frozen cheese tortellini (thawed)

c. peas

lb shrimp

garlic

tsp salt

Simple and delicious!  I don't like peas, so I substituted 1.5 cups of cut up fresh tomato.  I just threw that in with the shrimp in the last minute of cooking to heat it up without turning it to mush.  Perfect!

This was EXACTLY what I was looking for; simple, comforting, delicious!  Thank you for a great recipe!  

Added note:  After recovering from Covid, my husband still does not have a sense of taste or smell.  Now, he judges food by texture.  Your recipe - A+

This looks like something my family would go crazy for. Can't wait to try this one!

One of my all-time favorite recipes! Such great flavors, it never lasts long!

This was excellent! So flavorful, I did add Old Bay seasoning to the shrimp. Perfect for a quick meal   for  2 after work. Will definitely make again!
