Sauteed shrimp w/ roasted red pepper cream sauce

Ok.. this is soooo super easy to make and literally takes 5 or so minutes. Buy a large jar of sweet roasted red peppers and drain. Dump in blender with a light cream cheese package and a little chicken broth to thin. I add chopped fresh basil, red pepper flakes for heat and salt and pepper.. but be creative and add what you like. Now blend! If I don't want to use it right away I pour it back in the red pepper jar and store it in the fridge till I'm ready. I sautee up large shrimp with garlic and EVOO and then toss some pasta in w/ the sauce & voila! My hubby and kids aren't a fan of shrimp so I make them crispy breaded chicken breast with the sauce on top. Its a win win for a busy night!
