    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell peppers into 1/4" dice.

    Pat shrimp dry and season all over with blackening seasoning.

    Start the Pasta

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add bell peppers to hot pan and stir occasionally until tender, 6-8 minutes.

    Add pasta, 3/4 cup water, cream base, cream cheese, minced garlic and parsley, a pinch of pepper, and garlic salt. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until pasta is coated and heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner. Add Parmesan and stir until melted and combined.

    While pasta cooks, continue recipe.
