Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 12 oz pasta (optional, for serving)
Instructions
If serving with pasta, cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the shrimp in a single layer. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the heavy cream and sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet along with the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the shrimp are well-coated in the sauce.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Add the red pepper flakes if desired for a bit of heat.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread for dipping.
