Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 6 cloves garlic finely diced
  • 1 lb raw shrimp or prawns tails on or off
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1/2 cup white wine Optional
  • 5 ozs Mariposa Farms sun dried tomatoes cut into strips
  • 1 3/4 cups half and half Substitute with almond milk if desired
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups baby spinach leaves
  • 2/3 cup fresh Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch could also use gluten free cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp fresh Mariposa Farms parsley chopped
  • 3 tsp fresh Mariposa Farms Basil chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh Mariposa Farms Oregano chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh Mariposa Farms Rosemary chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add garlic and fry until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add shrimp and fry two minutes each side, until just cooked through and pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Fry the onion in the butter remaining in the skillet. Pour in the white wine (if using), and allow to reduce slightly. Add the sun dried tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the half and half and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add in the spinach leaves and allow to wilt in the sauce, add in the parmesan cheese. Allow sauce to simmer for a further minute until the cheese melts through the sauce. (for a thicker sauce, add the milk/cornstarch mixture to the center 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 basil, oregano, rosemary and parsley, and stir through.
  • Serve over pasta, kluski noodles, rice or steamed vegetables.
