Shrimp sauce for spaghetti

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   The shrimp must first be thawed in the refrigerator overnight. By the way, this is the most gentle type of defrosting for any product, not just shrimp. Remove heads and shells from shrimp. I always additionally rinse the already peeled shrimp with water to make sure there are no shell particles in the finished dish. Place the shrimp in a colander and let the water drain.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel two cloves of garlic and crush them with the flat side of a knife. Be careful not to cut your hands on the blade.

3. STEP 3

   

   Heat a frying pan over high heat and pour in sunflower oil. Warm it thoroughly and reduce the heat to medium. Place garlic in the pan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fry the garlic until golden on both sides. Then remove the garlic from the pan. It will no longer be needed, since it has already played its main role - to flavor the oil with its taste and aroma.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add peeled shrimp to garlic oil. The oil will start to shoot out a little, watch your hands. Fry the shrimp for a couple of minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour heavy cream into the pan and mix the future sauce thoroughly. Simmer the cream sauce over medium heat until the cream thickens a little. This stage took me about ten minutes. There is no need to cover the pan with a lid, as this will only prevent moisture from evaporating.

7. STEP 7

   

   At the end of cooking, add salt and pepper to taste and add dried Italian herbs. As a rule, they include: spicy basil, bright rosemary and fragrant marjoram. Stir the sauce and let it sit for five minutes with the lid closed. After which the sauce with shrimp is ready to serve.
