- Cook until the onion begins to wilt
- Incorporate the tomato sauce, powdered seasoning, and chopped basil, mixing well
- Add the butter and shrimp to the pan
- Cook over low heat for approximately 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Add the cream cheese and stir in the pan for about 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens
