Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by ensuring your shrimp are fully thawed if frozen; run them under cool water until they are pink and firm. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until bubbly. Whisk in flour, stirring for about 1 minute until smooth and lightly golden.
- Stir in minced garlic into the roux and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add prepared shrimp to the skillet, ensuring they are well coated in the creamy mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until completely pink and opaque.
- Fold in fresh baby spinach and chopped fresh basil, stirring until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnished with extra lemon juice and grated parmesan.
