Description

A delightful dish that combines rich flavors and a creamy texture with perfectly cooked shrimp, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water, add linguine, and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, cooking until spinach is wilted.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until melted and smooth. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  5. Add cooked linguine and shrimp back into the skillet, tossing until well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce.
  • For a vegan version, substitute shrimp with plant-based protein and use coconut cream.
