Marry Me Shrimp with Pasta

Steps

1. Cook 8 ounces linguine pasta according to the package directions, drain, and set aside.

2. Toss 1 pound shrimp, in 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook until it turns pink, about 6-8 minutes. Don’t overcook the shrimp or it will be chewy. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

4. In the same pan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Saute 3 teaspoons garlic, for 30 seconds, then whisk in 3 tablespoons flour to make a paste.

5. Slowly whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup heavy cream. Whisk together and heat until the sauce starts to thicken.

6. Add 1 cup parmesan cheese,, 1 cup sun dried tomatoes, ⅓ cup fresh basil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Whisk and heat through until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.

7. Add the shrimp and pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Saute everything together for another 3-4 minutes.

8. Garnish with additional basil and enjoy fresh!
