Equipment

  • Blackstone Griddle
  • Flat Top Grill/ Griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsps butter
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 4 oz pesto
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 30 oz bag frozen cheese tortellini thawed but not cooked
  • cooking oil of choice
  • 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Set a saucepan over high heat, once hot add the butter and once melted add the cream, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir several times throughout.
    Note: Watch carefully as it comes to a boil, if it bubbles up simply remove from the heat for a moment and stir.
  • Stir in the pesto and parmesan cheese until melted and set aside.
  • Preheat the griddle to medium heat. Add the thawed tortellini first, cover with a 9x13 foil pan or melting dome and squirt a little water on the griddle under the dome.
  • Cook 2 to 3 minutes total, flip them around halfway through, add more water, and cover again (if using the foil pan use caution as it will be hot). Set the pan or melting dome aside.
  • Add some cooking oil to the tortellini and to an empty space on the griddle. Put the spinach over the oil and season with kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, flipping both the tortellini and spinach a few times with hibachi spatulas.
  • Add oil and the shrimp to an empty space on the griddle, season with kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp a minute on their own and then combine everything with the hibachi spatulas to cook 1 to 2 more minutes.
  • Add the homemade alfredo pesto sauce and cook 1 more minute, stirring and flipping until combined. Use a scoop or the spatulas to transfer everything to the 9x13 foil pan from earlier or a tray.
  • Serve with fresh basil if desired.
