Creamy Tuscan Shrimp

I found this general recipe online and tweaked it to make it my own.  We had it over some homemade fettuccini pasta that I dried and it was superb.

Cream Tuscan Shrimp

1 lb. raw peeled and deveined shrimp

4 - 8 oz. sliced mushrooms (add as much as you like)

4 T. butter, divided

6 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 T. flour (I like using Wondra as it is super fine)

1/2 t. Italian seasoning

1 c. heavy whipping cream

1 t. lemon juice

1 jar sun-dried tomato (I used julienned in oil.  Don't include oil)

5 oz. fresh spinach

1/2 t. red pepper flakes

salt and pepper

Melt 2 T. of butter and saute the mushrooms.  

Add the other 2 T of butter and the flour and stir to combine.  Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and stir for 30 seconds or so.

Add the heavy cream, lemon juice and stir.

Add the shrimp and cook for about 5 minutes.

Add the sundried tomatoes and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted and combined.

Season with salt, pepper, and add the red pepper flakes.

Serve over pasta.  Or not.
