Easy Creamy Seafood Pasta

We love pasta in this household.  My daughter is known for just eating a bowl of plain pasta noodles or stealing some off the counter before I even get the chance to add them to the sauce.  It’s a staple in our house and I love how versatile it is. Whether it’s our herbed chicken fettuccine, tomato basil shrimp pasta, chicken & broccoli stuffed shells or your own personal favorite pasta dish it’s always a a quick dinner solution for busy schedules or for when you just want some comfort food. 

Can I use frozen pre-cooked shrimp for this pasta dish?

I prefer to use uncooked shrimp as it doesn’t get tough as quickly when simmering but if frozen pre-cooked shrimp is what you have that will work. Just add the shrimp when you add the parmesan cheese, spices and sun dried tomatoes and let it heat through.
