Can substitute chicken for the shrimp.
While the tortellini is cooking, I saute the shrimp in a little olive oil and half the garlic. Once they're pink, I add the dressing and remaining garlic for 1 minute, then the tomatoes and continue on with the recipe. I also "lightly" drain the tomatoes and use more dressing--the dressing has more flavor than the tomato "juice".
