Ingredients
  • 40 large raw shrimp
  • 1/2 onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp parmesan
  • 4 handfuls spinach
Instructions
  1. To start off, place your shrimp in a bowl of cold water and let them defrost. If the shrimp are not peeled, wait until they thaw and peel their shells off.
  2. While you’re waiting for the shrimp to defrost, chop up some onions into small pieces.
  3. Pour olive oil into a pan and cook your shrimp for about 2 minutes or until they are all pink. We’re not cooking the shrimp all the way through. Take the shrimp off the pan and onto a plate to rest.
  4. Then on the same hot pan, cook your onions until translucent. Add some salt to encourage all the ingredients to let their juices out! Then squeeze the garlic and let it cook for about another minute.
  5. Add your butter, cream and parmesan and stir until you have a combined sauce. Let this cook for about 2 minutes to let some moisture out and let the whole sauce thicken a bit.
  6. Now add the shrimp back into the pan and stir very well. Let all the sides of the shrimp soak up the delicious sauce. Cook this all together for no longer than 2-3 minutes. Overcooked shrimp are dry, rubbery and hard to chew.
  7. When the shrimp are done, take them off and let them relax. On the same pan yet again, cook all your spinach slightly. Don’t let them shrink and get too soggy, the closer to raw, the more vitamins and minerals are spared.
  8. Now combine the spinach and the scrimp to create one tasty quick dinner! Enjoy!
