I found this recipe many years back and I happened to stumble across it again just recently. I thought I remembered it being pretty good, so I decided to give it another try. Besides the fact that something went wrong and my pasta became way too dry - the flavor was still there. Creamy and delicious but definitely not for anyone counting calories! It's an indulgence I was willing to run an extra mile for :)

Well I'm in love :) Shrimp & cream cheese pasta?? Let me put on my stretchy pants first before I tuck into a plate of this deliciousness! Sounds REALLY good Jenn!
We had shrimp last night but your looks much better, I wasn't loving our meal! Love how your pasta looks all nice piled on the plate! YUM!
What size shrimp do you use? Are they 21-25's or larger?
Stephen, I use the large shrimp which is 21/25. But you could use any size you wanted to.
Mmm. It looks rich and decadent - yum!
I adore shrimp and pasta together. This looks great.
As soon as my fridge works I'm going to buy some shrimp so I can make this.
Lots of yummy love,

Creamy and delicious was all I needed to hear.
The creamy pasta looks delicious, Jenn. I'm not one to count calories anyway.
You had me at cream cheese and pasta. Good stuff, but my pictures were horrendous! Oh well, I linked back so they can look at your fabulous picture! Thanks!
