    🥘 Shrimp Alfredo in Crock Pot Ingredients 

    Ingredients needed for making crock pot shrimp alfredo tortellini

    Here are the ingredients you will need to make this crockpot shrimp alfredo:

    • Jar Alfredo Sauce: I used jarred alfredo sauce to make this a super easy recipe, but homemade alfredo sauce would totally work. 
    • Frozen Shrimp: use frozen peeled and deveined shrimp, tails removed. Large or jumbo shrimp may be used. 
    • Frozen Cheese Tortellini: Frozen tortellini or refrigerated tortellini may be used. 
    • Dried Italian Seasoning

    For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!

    🔪 How To Make Crock Pot Shrimp Alfredo Using Jar Sauce

    Here's how to make this SUPER easy shrimp alfredo tortellini recipe:

    1. Add all ingredients to a crock pot that has been coated with nonstick spray.
    2. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or until the pasta is tender and shrimp are pink and no longer translucent.

    1. Add half of the alfredo sauce, Italian seasoning and frozen cheese tortellini to the pot. Cook on high 2 hours.

    Adding thawed shrimp to a crock pot then stirring it with pasta.

    2. Add thawed shrimp and continue cooking until shrimp are done about 30 minutes to 1 hour more.

    Cover the pot with a lid and slow cooking until pasta is done then topping off with more Alfredo sauce.

    3. Once shrimp are done, add remaining alfredo sauce and heat if needed.

    Serving the shrimp Alfredo tortellini out of the slow cooker.

    4. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve in bowls with fresh basil or parsley and parmesan cheese.

    Hint: be careful not to overcook the shrimp. It is best to add them towards the last 30 minutes to 1 hour of cooking.

    🍽️ How to Serve It

    There are several ways you can serve crockpot alfredo tortellini! 

    Meal idea! Pairs perfectly with a fresh salad or steamed broccoli and cheese bread or breaksticks.

    Serve your alfredo garnished with fresh parsley or basil and extra grated parmesan cheese. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

    📖 Variations

    Here are some suggestions for customizing your shrimp alfredo:

    Substitute cooked chicken breasts and make this chicken alfredo! Note that chicken breasts need to cook longer than the tortellini, it is important to use cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed. 

    Add a drained 15 ounce can of diced tomato with basil. 

    Fresh garlic may be added, or even garlic powder. Depending on the taste of your jar of alfredo sauce you may want to add salt and pepper too.

    💭 Slow Cooker Tips

    Tip #1: The frozen tortellini goes straight into the pot - do not thaw. Same with the shrimp. Both will cook in the alfredo sauce. 

    Tip #2: Frozen cooked shrimp may be used, but you need just to add them to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking so they don't turn rubbery.

    Tip #3: Add the remaining half of the alfredo sauce after shrimp are done. Warm if needed.

    How to store it

    Let the pasta and shrimp cool, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
