Equipment

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp tails off
1 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups half and half or heavy whipping cream
2 cups baby spinach
4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes drained
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
cooked pasta optional for serving

Instructions

Cook the shrimp. In a large skillet, melt the butter then saute the garlic for 1-2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, flip then cook an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Make the sauce. Deglaze the pan by slowly adding the wine while stirring to get the bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half. Add the half and half, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach is wilted.
Serve. Add the shrimp back to the pan. Serve as is or over pasta.

Notes

Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook fast, so keep an eye on them to avoid rubbery shrimp. Have all your ingredients ready to go (pre-measured) so there are no hold-ups while cooking.

Deglaze like a pro. Slowly add the wine while stirring and gently scraping the bottom of the pan to get those tasty bits into the sauce.

Cook the dish until the spinach is nice and wilted but still vibrant green.
