Ingredients
1 lb medium or large shrimp peeled and deveined
1 tsp green seasoning
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Few dashes pepper sauce
1 large pack patchoi, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh green seasoning
2 – 3 tomatoes, diced
½ cup white wine
2 – 2½ cups heavy cream
2 tbsp oil
2 oz butter
Salt and black pepper
Directions
- Season the shrimp with green seasoning, salt, black pepper and pepper sauce. Let marinate for 15 mins – ½ hour.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and quickly cook 1 – 2 minutes on either side, just until the shrimp turn opaque. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add just a little more oil and heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the patchoi and mix into the onion and garlic. Let cook until wilted and beginning to soften. Season with a little salt and black pepper.
- Stir in the tomatoes into the patchoi mixture. Add the wine and let the wine reduce a bit.
- Add the cream to the vegetables. Stir ever so often as the cream begins to thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the cream becomes too thick, add a little more cream.
- When the mixture has thickened, add the shrimp and any extra juices. Stir into the sauce and let heat through. Taste and adjust if necessary. Serve hot over spaghetti .
