Step 1: Place cleaned shrimp in a bowl and pour Mrs Dash Lime Garlic marinade over it. Mix till coated and place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator 1/2 hour before cooking to take the chill off.
Step 2: Put dried oregano, dried red pepper flakes and cracked black pepper in the chicken stock to soften and rehydrate.
Step 3: Put water on to boil in a large saucepan for the tortellini.
Step 4: Put butter in a large skillet over medium heat to melt. Saute onions or shallots till translucent. Add garlic and continue cooking 1 minute.

Step 7: Add lemon zest and half and half cream to the chicken stock and onions and cook on medium-low for 3 minutes to thicken somewhat.
