Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta, cooked al dente
- 1 dozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 1/2 tsp Crave Spices Magic Mardi
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 TBSP butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic

Instructions
- In a sauté pan, melt half of the butter & add the shrimp. Season with Crave Spices Magic Mardi and cook until the shrimp is no longer translucent.
- After you remove the shrimp from the pan, add the other half of the butter, garlic and lemon juice and let cook for 1-2 minutes, add the wine and let cook for 3-4 minutes —> this is a must & what makes it so flavorful!
- Next add the cherry tomatoes and let them cook until they start to soften. Add the heavy cream, sriracha, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper and let simmer until the sauce starts to thicken then add the pasta and arugula or spinach. Add in the shrimp and parmesan cheese and stir.
- Top with fresh cracked black pepper, fresh herbs if you have them, and extra freshly grated parmesan cheese because there is no such thing as too much cheese! Pairs perfectly with sunshine and a crisp white wine!
