How to Make Vicki's Shrimp Pasta

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers; sauté for another 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 pound of shrimp and sauté until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted, stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and is warmed through. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and toss to coat.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta (about 1 pound cooked pasta).
