Reviews

  1. Not a fan of shrimp, but I tried this and loved it!
     
  2. Made this tonight and it was a hit. My son really wanted scampi and was upset at first when he saw this but after eating it he was very satisfied. I didn't add leeks since i didn't have any but it tasted great. I added a little more cream cheese as well since I wanted to finish off what I had left. At first it was a little lumpy and seemed runny but after adding the shrimp and tortellini in and letting it sit for a few minutes it thickened and became really creamy. We served it with homemade bread sticks, green beans and cantaloupe for dessert.

Tweaks

  1. I did tweak this recipe, and it turned out delicious! I added bacon and sausage and substituted the leeks for fresh spinach. Cleaning out the fridge, so why not? Turned out extremely tasty! Definitely will make this again.
