Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp 30-40 count size thawed & peeled
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp flour
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped or julienned
  • 1-2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
  • Handful fresh basil cut into thin strips
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, melt butter in a large pan on medium-high heat. Add flour and stir for about a minute until it's smooth.
  • Next, add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until it smells good.
  • Now, mix in cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes. Let it simmer for 2 minutes. If it bubbles too much, turn down the heat.
  • Then, put in the shrimp and cook for around 5 minutes until they're cooked through and the sauce thickens a bit. Be careful not to cook them too much.
  • After that, add spinach and basil and cook for another 2 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away. If you like, squeeze extra lemon juice on top (optional). You can also sprinkle fresh parmesan on top if you want.

Notes

  • If you used sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil (and drained the oil), feel free to adjust the quantity as you like—use more or less than suggested based on your preference.
