Shrimp in Sambuca Cream Sauce
Shrimp in Sambuca Cream Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 pound large shrimp, shelled and cleaned
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/2 cup ouzo or sambuca
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 TSP olive oil
- 8 ozs of pasta
Directions
- While pasta is cooking
- Sautee the tomatoes and dill in the olive oil for just about a minute.
- Gently lay the shrimp into the pan so that each is fully exposed to the bottom of the pan.
- Cook until pink on one side, then flip over.
- Drizzle the ouzo or sambuca over the shrimp, and cook until the shrimp are pink on the other side.
- Slowly pour cream in, stirring gently to combine the ingredients. Increase the heat a little so that everything is simmering.
- Once the sauce is hot and the shrimp are cooked through, add the cooked pasta directly to the sauce and stir.
- Top with some chopped, uncooked dill for an extra punch of flavor.
