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

Equipment

  • Skillet Medium sized
  • Spoon Large

Method
 

  1. Put the oil and butter to a medium sized skillet over medium heat until the butter melts down
  2. Add garlic to the pan. Cook until fragrant (about 30 secs).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add heavy cream and stir until shrimp are evenly coated.
  6. 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!
