Tortellini with Shrimp and Arugula
Italian Pasta with Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 10-14 large shrimp peeled and deviened
- 1/2 pound Tortellini
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 large handfulls fresh arugula or spinah
- 1 pinch black pepper
- grated parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- You will need a pot of water on the stove for the tortellini. Add the Tortellini right away. Put a skillet on at medium high and lightly spray or wipe it with some extra virgin olive oil. When the skillet gets hot lay the shrimp out in it. While the shrimp and tortellini are cooking, chop up the garlic.
- When the Shrimp has seared on one side turn them over. When they are pink on both sides and opaque in the middle they are ready for the next step. Which is, add the rest of the olive oil. Push the shrimp out to the sides of the skillet and put the garlic in the middle. Just cook the garlic until it starts to brown on the edges and/or you can smell it cooking.
- Turn the heat down to medium low and add the tortellini and the arugula. Spinach also works if you can’t find any arugula. Stir it all together and as soon as the arugula starts to wilt serve up your Tortellini with Shrimp and Arugula.
