Unbelievably CREAMY and just melt-in-your-mouth AMAZING!!! Loaded with sun dried tomatoes, spinach and basil.
You guys know I love a good cream sauce.
Any cream sauce, really.
I don’t discriminate.
Obviously.
And it’s even better with shrimp.
Perfectly caramelized in the oven, with just a hint of sweetness.
And throw in some sun dried tomatoes.
No wait.
Extra sun dried tomatoes.
Add some spinach too.
You know.
For color.
Or for your extra servings of veggies.
I hear that’s important.
Right?

Ingredients
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
3. Place shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine. Place into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes; set aside.
4. To make the tomato basil cream sauce, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
5. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more heavy cream as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in spinach until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
6. Stir in pasta and shrimp, and gently toss to combine.
7. Serve immediately.
