Shrimp Cannelloni with Red Pepper Cream Sauce is a decadent, delicious cannelloni recipe made extra special with the red pepper cream sauce
Set a saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and once melted add the diced onion, kosher salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes. Cook 5 minutes, stirring a few times. Add the garlic cook 1 more minute.
Add the roasted red peppers to the saucepan (with the liquid from the jar as well), heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring a few times. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce to a smooth consistency.
Note: If you do not have an immersion blender, a regular blender or food processor can be used, but very important to wait until it's at room temp (if hot the lid can explode off of the blender).
Add the shrimp, ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese, parsley, egg, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, kosher salt, pepper, crushed pepper flakes to a bowl and stir until evenly mixed.
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and spoon some of the filling along the bottom edge and roll it up (picture examples in post above). Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Spoon some of the Red Pepper Sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish. Put the cannelloni in the dish and cover with remaining Red Pepper Sauce.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup parmesan cheese over top and bake 5 more minutes. Garnish with parsley if desired.
