  • 1 lb deveined raw shrimp
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 3 ½ oz sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then place them in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic granules. Mix well to coat.

  • Stir in the cream, return the shrimp to the pan, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the spinach, stirring until it wilts.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Mix in the cooked pasta, ensuring it’s well-coated with the sauce.
  • Finish by adding lemon zest and chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
