GARLIC SHRIMP PASTA WITH SPICY SUN-DRIED TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Note: if using sun-dried tomatoes in oil (in a jar), make sure to drain sun-dried tomatoes from oil, before using them. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this drained oil for sauteing as described below:
• In a large skillet, saute minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes (drained from oil) in 2 tablespoons of oil (reserved from the sun-dried tomatoes jar - see note above) for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
• Add shrimp, sprinkle with a small amount of salt, paprika, and cook on medium heat for about 2 more minutes.
• Add half-and-half, basil, and crushed red pepper to the skillet with shrimp, bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Whisk the Parmesan cheese into the hot cream and stir to melt cheese, on the lowest heat setting, until cheese is melted.
• Remove the sauce from heat. Add more salt, basil, and more crushed red pepper if desired, to taste.
• In the meantime, cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain (reserving some pasta water).
• Add cooked pasta to the creamy mixture, add more salt, basil, and more crushed red pepper if desired, to taste. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin it out.

Thin with 2 tablespoons cold water to make a smooth, medium-thin dressing. If it's too thick, thin with a little more water.

Or broil shrimp, turning once. Let cool to room temperature and set aside up to 1 hour. To assemble salad: In a large bowl toss shrimp with remaining teaspoon of garlic, pine nuts, anchovy dressing, sun-dried tomatoes, capers and basil.
