- 400 g Raw Peeled Shrimp

- Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 cup Half and Half Cream
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp White Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Dried Basil
- 1/4 tsp Dried Parsley Flakes
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- Pinch Red Pepper Flakes

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook bowtie pasta as per the instructions on the box.
While the pasta is cooking, add all ingredients for the sauce to a saucepan, except the pasta water, cheeses and cornstarch. Continuously stir the sauce on low heat until it comes to just a simmer. Add 1 cup of pasta water to the sauce, stir well and bring back to a low simmer. Add parmesan and mozzarella cheese and stir until well combined. If the sauce looks too thin, mix 1 tbsp water and cornstarch together and add to your sauce.
While the pasta and sauce are cooking, over medium-high heat, add olive oil to a large pan. Sauté the red pepper, garlic, shrimp and salt & pepper for 3-4 minutes, or until just cooked. Add crab meat and completed sauce to the shrimp and cook on low for 1 minute more. Drain and add pasta to the seafood mixture. Serve immediately.
