Creating delicious Shrimp Tortellini with Garlic Sauce is a breeze if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Tortellini: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
3. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, letting it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked tortellini and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Plate the Dish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
7. Serve Warm: Optionally, top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving for an enriched taste.
