Ingredients
Group-1
- ½ pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined ( 31-40 per pound)
- ¼ + ⅛ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Group-2
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Group-3
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Group-4
- 1 handful baby spinach
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Toss shrimp with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ 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 ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ 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.
