Recipe Introduction


Found this at https://www.facebook.com/CafeDelites/videos/vb.868050759884560/1314274088595556/?type=2&theater and the only revision I made was to swap out the half & half for real cream.

List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons butter
6 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 pound (500 g) shrimp (or prawns) -- tails on or off
1 small yellow onion, diced
½ cup white wine
5 oz (150 g) jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil, drained
1¾ cups cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cups baby spinach leaves
2/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoons of water (optional)
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Recipe



Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add in the garlic and fry until fragrant (about one minute). Add in the shrimp and fry two minutes on each side, until just cooked through and pink. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.

Fry the onion in the butter remaining in the skillet. Pour in the white wine, and allow to reduce slightly. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes to release their flavours.

Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Add in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, and add in the parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until cheese melts through the sauce. (For a thicker sauce, add the milk/cornstarch mixture to the centre of the pan, and continue to simmer while quickly stirring the mixture through until the sauce thickens.)

Add the shrimp back into the pan; sprinkle with the herbs and parsley, and stir through. Serve as is, or spooned over steamed vegetables, pasta or rice.
