1/2 stick butter
6 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
Premixed Italian seasoning
Minced garlic or garlic powder
1 pkg. fettuccine or linguini
1/2 lb. frozen, precooked, salad shrimp or like amount imitation (or real) crabmeat

Melt butter over medium heat. Add cream cheese, sour cream and about 1 or 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning. Sprinkle with garlic to suit your taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Place frozen precooked shrimp in colander and drench with cold, running water until it begins to thaw.

Prepare pasta according to package directions, when cooked drain in colander over shrimp. Turn pasta and shrimp back into cooking pot. Pour hot sauce mixture over and toss with forks to blend sauce and shrimp through pasta. Serve with anti-pasto and garlic bread. Takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and it's great for those evenings when you've had a really hard day!

Very quick to fix. Tastes like you've been working for hours.
