Cooking Instructions

  • Melt 2 tablespoons Butter in a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the 4 Garlic Cloves (minced) and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon Gluten-free Flour and 1 Cup Heavy Cream until well combined, then pour it into the pan.
  • Stir in the 0.5 tablespoons Lemon Zest, 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Mix, 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon Cayenne Powder (optional), and 0.25 Cup Sun-dried Tomatoes (chopped). Lower the heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Add the 1.5 pounds Shrimp and cook until it becomes pink and curly. About 4-5 minutes.
  • Take off the heat and stir in a handful of freshly chopped basil leaves picked and chopped. Season with Sea salt and pepper, to taste if needed, and enjoy!

Notes

You can use avocado oil in place of butter. I recommend you use raw shrimp and not pre-cooked. There are two types of sundried tomatoes. Fresh basil works best, but if you can't find any, use dried basil.
