Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add shrimp seasoned with salt and red pepper flakes, cooking on medium-high heat until pink. Toss in the sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic, cooking for one more minute. Transfer the mixture from the skillet, set aside.

In the same skillet, combine half and half, remaining salt, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to simmer. Gradually add shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring continuously until completely melted. Mix in the chopped fresh basil.

Layer the fresh spinach on top of the sauce in the skillet and cover with a lid. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the residual warmth to wilt the spinach.

While the sauce sets, cook the tortellini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under warm running water.

Add the cooked tortellini and shrimp to the sauce, stir gently to coat the pasta and warm on medium-low heat. Adjust salt to taste.

Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
