Ingredients

Group-1

• 1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined ( 31-40 per pound)
• 1/4 + 1/8 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Group-2

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Group-3

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Group-4

• 1 handful baby spinach
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

• Toss shrimp with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper powder. 
• Add olive oil into a 9-inch skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Place shrimp in a single layer, cook for one minute (without disturbing), turn then over and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until cooked. Transfer shrimp onto a plate. 
• Place pan back on medium heat, add butter and let it melt. Add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes (group-2). Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often until translucent. Add group-3 ingredients and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook until sauce has thickened to your liking, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. (You will need a thicker sauce if serving over pasta)
• Add group-4 ingredients and shrimp. Cook for a few seconds until spinach is wilted. 
• Serve shrimp with sun dried tomato sauce with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce or serve over cooked fettuccine.
