Ingredients
– 1 pound thawed and peeled shrimp (31-40 count size)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon flour
– 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
– 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1/4 cup chopped or julienned sun-dried tomatoes
– 1-2 cups packed fresh baby spinach
– Handful of fresh basil, cut into thin strips
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Getting started with Tuscan shrimp: involves a few straightforward steps that lead to a flavorful result. Begin by melting butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, which sets the foundation for the sauce. This simple start helps build layers of taste without much effort.
2-Next, add flour and stir until smooth, cooking for about a minute to create a base for thickening. Then, toss in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, which only takes around 30 seconds. These steps ensure the flavors meld together nicely before adding the rest.
3-Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes, then simmer for 2 minutes while adjusting the heat as needed. Once thatβs done, add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes until itβs pink and the sauce thickens slightly. Finally, mix in the spinach and basil, cooking for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts, and season with salt and pepper.
