Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp:
   • Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter.
   • Once the butter is melted, add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the additional 2 tablespoons of butter.
   • Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
   • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
   • Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
   • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
3. Combine Shrimp and Sauce:
   • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
   • Add the baby spinach and fresh basil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the Creamy Tuscan Shrimp over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
   • Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
