📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomato jar and all shrimp seasonings. Add the shrimp and turn to coat.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter oil in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-reactive saucepan over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add shrimp in a single layer and cook just until opaque, about ⏱️ 2 minutes per side; transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon. Repeat. You can remove the tails once cool enough to handle if desired.

Bring sauce to a simmer while scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan; simmer until sauce thickens to desired consistency, stirring often.

Once thickened, reduce heat to medium-low and stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook, while stirring until melted, ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use about ⅛ teaspoon each). Stir in spinach and cook ⏱️ 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
