Encourage your dinner guest to say “I do!” to the creamy tastes of this fantastic recipe by @gracegoldenkitchen!

TIPS:

  • Your shrimp should be C-shaped when fully cooked. If it’s O-shaped, it’s been overcooked.
  • Stir your sauce constantly while you cook it to prevent sticking.
  • Be gentle when stirring in the pasta and shrimp so you don’t break the pasta apart.

Recipe Preparation

For the Shrimp

  • 1 lb extra large shrimp, peeled/deveined
  • ½ tbsp smoked paprika
  • ¾ tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tbsp sun-dried tomato oil

For the Sauce

  • 2½ tbsp Cento tomato paste
  • ½ cup Cento sun-dried tomatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ⅓ tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp dried basil
  • 2 tbsp Gluten free One-to-One flour
  • 2 cups spinach, diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp minced onion
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish, chopped
Step Description
1
Boil the pasta according to the package directions for al dente while you cook the shrimp.
2
Toss the shrimp with the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl until they’re evenly coated.
3
Heat the sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Then, cook the shrimp for two minutes on both sides. Use a ThermoPro Lightning One-Second Instant-Read Meat Thermometer to quickly and accurately determine if the shrimp has been properly cooked. Remove the shrimp from heat once it reaches an internal temperature of 135–140°F (57–60°C).
4
Once done, set the cooked shrimp aside to cool.
5
Melt the butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Then, add the garlic, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and dried basil. Cook the mixture for about two minutes until fragrant.
6
Add the flour to the aromatics and stir well. Then, add the broth, heavy cream, and spinach. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens and the spinach starts to wilt – about 5 minutes.
7
Carefully mix the pasta into the sauce. Then, add the shrimp and gently stir again. Garnish with fresh basil, and enjoy.
