Equipment

  • Skillet Medium sized
  • Spoon Large

Ingredients
  

  • 11/2 lbs Shrimp peeled, deveined
  • 1/2 cup Sundried tomatoes
  • 1/2 to 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp lime juice
  • 2 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning blend
  • 2 tsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 cups Rice optional (or pasta)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives

Instructions
 

  • Put the oil and butter to a medium sized skillet over medium heat until the butter melts down
  • Add garlic to the pan. Cook until fragrant (about 30 secs).
  • Add your sun dried tomatoes, lime juice, italian seasoning and sugar to the pan. Cook until the sugar has melted down, about a minute or so.
  • Turn up heat to medium-high. Add shrimp directly to the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle a small bit of salt. Cook until shrimp are pink (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat.
  • Add heavy cream and stir until shrimp are evenly coated.
  • Pour over rice or pasta (your choice). Then sprinkle feta cheese and add olives to the top.

Notes

  • Using pre-minced garlic cuts down on prep time
  • Use pre-bottled lime juice to cut down on prep time
  • Also using peeled and deveined shrimp saves time
  • Add more heavy cream if pouring over pasta for more sauce
  • Use thing spaghetti or angel hair pasta if opting for pasta
  • Make pasta or rice beforehand for easier cooking experience!
