Shrimp with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

(1)

A simple jar of sun-dried tomatoes is used in two delicious ways for this healthy dinner recipe. The flavorful oil they're packed in is used to sauté the shrimp, and the tomatoes go into the cream sauce. This recipe is a variation on our popular Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce recipe by Carolyn Malcoun.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw shrimp (26-30 count), peeled and deveined

  • ¼ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • ½ cup slivered oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, plus 1 tablespoon oil from the jar

  • ½ cup finely chopped shallots

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Sprinkle shrimp with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat sun-dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook, turning once, until pink and just cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Add sun-dried tomatoes and shallots to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add wine. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in cream and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper; simmer for 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve the shrimp topped with the sauce and parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
