Then, make the cream sauce by sautéing sun-dried tomatoes and garlic, adding cream, basil, red pepper flakes, paprika.
Next, Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain.

Substitute for half and half
What is Half-and-half? To keep it simple, Half-and-half is the US milk product that combines half whole milk and half heavy cream to form a lighter cream.
Substitute ½ cup of milk + ½ cup of heavy cream for 1 cup of half-and-half.
How to store and reheat shrimp pasta
Store leftovers in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
To reheat, add a small amount of milk or chicken broth (or water) to shrimp pasta and reheat gently over medium-low heat until the sauce just starts to bubble. At this point, turn heat to low, and continue reheating the pasta, without simmering.
Keep your eyes on keeping the heat medium or low. If reheated over high heat, the cream will separate.
Can you freeze it?
