Cooking Instructions
- Season shrimp evenly with salt and pepper.
- To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add shrimp and cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and tent to keep warm. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add shallots and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the shallots are softened (2-4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Sprinkle flour over the top and stir to combine.
- Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan as you go.
- Reduce heat to low. Simmer until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add spinach and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Top with cooked shrimp. Serve immediately garnished with parsley and extra parmesan cheese.
