Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp (I use 31–40 count size) (thawed & peeled, tails optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 4–5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon 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
- Step 1: Prep your shrimp (if frozen, add them to a colander and run under cool water until thawed).
- Step 2: Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring until smooth.
- Step 3: Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Step 4: Stir in the cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes. Reduce heat if it’s bubbling too much.
- Step 5: 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.
- Step 6: 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.
