Creamy Tuscan Shrimp with Pasta
- 1 1/2 lbs jumbo shrimp (16-20ct/lb), peeled and deveined
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded parmigiano reggiano (plus extra for serving)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced into ribbons (drained if oil-packed, steeped in hot water for a few minutes if dried)
- 8 oz short-cut pasta (such as bow ties, orechiette or penne), cooked al dente according to package directions
-Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Cook the shrimp about 1
minute until they are starting to turn pink. Flip the shrimp and continue for another
1 to 2 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover with
foil.
-Add the cream, broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and cheese to the skillet,
whisking constantly until it starts to thicken. Lower the heat to medium and stir in
the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Add the shrimp back into the skillet, stir and
serve (over pasta) immediately.
