Ingredients
  

Pasta and Shrimp
  • 8 oz gluten-free pasta (penne, fusilli, or linguine work well)
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (16–20 count is ideal) Dry shrimp well before cooking
Sauce Mixture
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use less if your sun-dried tomatoes are oil-packed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed or rehydrated dry-packed) Rinse if very salty
  • 1 cup heavy cream For dairy-free, use full-fat coconut cream
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Seasoning and Garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Shrimp
  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, stirring so it doesn’t brown.
  2. Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp to a plate and keep warm.
Make Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  2. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat. Heat for 1–2 minutes until shrimp is warmed through.
  3. Add the cooked pasta and toss until everything is evenly coated in the sauce. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve
  1. Serve hot with torn fresh basil and plenty of grated Parmesan.
