Ingredients

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained (you can buy a jar at the store near the pickles)

1 8oz pkg of lite cream cheese

3 TBSP powdered parmesan cheese

1 clove crushed garlic

6 to 6 med. size leaves of fresh basil

ABOUT 1 cup milk (any kind)

salt and pepper to taste

1 lb cleaned, devained, shelled shrimp (i use the 40-60 count per pound)

1 TBSP butter or margerine, and a drizzle of olive oil (for sauteing shrimp)

1 lb. penne pasta cooked

Directions

In a blender, add peppers, cream cheese, parmesian, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. add enough milk to just cover ingredients, blend until smooth. You don't want it too thick, or it will end up globby when you mix in the pasta!

Heat medium sized skillet on large burner on med-high for shrimp

Pour blended mixture in med size pan, and warm on stove over med heat, stirring often, until hot, but not boiling

add butter and olive oil to hot skillet, as soon as melted, add shrimp. salt and pepper generously

Stir shrimp just until all the gray in center of each shrimp turns white and pink. DO NOT OVERCOOK-YUCK!

In a large bowl, toss pasta, blended sauce, and shrimp

Sprinkle top with shredded parmesan

-ENJOY!

This DOES sound good! I'll be adding chicken for me, but keeping the shrimp for my husband. Thank you for the post!
