Ingredients

50-60 shrimp (I used frozen, thawed of course, the 51-60 per lb. size)

2 Tblsp. butter

1/2 cup chopped onion (I use green onions)

2 - 3 tblsp. shredded garlic (I use elephant garlic)

1 large sweet red pepper, chopped finely

1 - 2 large jalapenos (seeded and chopped)

8 oz. cream cheese (I use Philadelphia light)

2 cups light cream or half and half (You can use milk)

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, leaves only (you can use 1 tblsp. dry cilantro)

1 tblsp. basil or fresh basil

1 tsp. celery seed

Salt and pepper to taste.

8 oz. (dry) cooked pasta of your choice (I used thin spaghetti)

Directions

Thaw shrimp and remove tails (I like to cook my frozen shrimp for about 7 minutes -- rolling boil)

In large pan bring water to boil, add salt, and add pasta. Boil about 7 - 9 minutes.

Add butter to dutch oven. When melted, add onions, shredded garlic, chopped red pepper, and chopped jalapeno.

Saute till onions, red pepper, jalapeno and garlic is tender.

Add cream. Add shrimp. Once cream is heated through, add cilantro, basil and celery seed. Then add Philidelphia cream cheese and slowly melt until heated through.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Stir and serve over pasta (or, you can serve over Ramy wild rice.)

For variation, use Parmesan cheese (shredded) instead of cream cheese.
