Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Seafood & Vegetables

  • 1 pound shrimp thawed & peeled, tails optional
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1-2 cups fresh baby spinach (packed)
  • 1 handful fresh basil cut into thin strips
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped or julienned

Sauces & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation and Cooking

  • Prep your shrimp (if frozen, add them to a colander and run under cool water until thawed).
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring until smooth.
  • Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Stir in the cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes. Reduce heat if it’s bubbling too much.
  • Add the shrimp and cook for around 5 minutes or until they’re cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, taking care not to overcook them.
  • Add the spinach and basil and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
  • I like to squeeze extra lemon juice over top when serving (up to you). You could also grate some fresh parmesan over top if you wish.

Notes

I use sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil (I drain the oil). Feel free to use more or less than suggested.
