SOUTHWESTERN SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• 1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions in boiling salted water; drain. 2. Meanwhile, pat shrimp dry and season with chili powder, cumin, and cayenne.

Add garlic and roasted red pepper; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes. 4. Stir in the half and half and heat to bubbling, then lower heat and simmer until it's slightly reduced. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the chopped cilantro. 5. Add the sauce to the reserved pasta and stir gently to combine. Portion into bowls and top each bowl with about 1/4 cup shredded cheese, some of the shrimp, and another sprinkling of cilantro.
