We love discovering great dishes at restaurants. Especially, when we know we can recreate it ourselves at home. Doing so, results in us eating out less. Now, we almost never eat out during the week.

This past weekend we ate at a seafood restaurant nearby. We go there often, always ordering the same appetizer. This time, we felt the need to break out of our safety zone and try something new. We were happy we did because it was AMAZING!!! There’s nothing worse then trying something new and totally regretting it! Now, we regret not trying it sooner.

Ok, so let’s get to the point! Drumroll pleaseeee….

How delicious does that look?!

Lately, we’ve been on a sun-dried tomato fiend. If you haven’t tried them, we insist  you do ASAP. There is something about their chewy texture and sweetness that will leave you craving for more.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh tomatoes, chopped

6 garlic cloves, crushed

1 lemon, juiced

3 Tbs. sugar

1 pinches of kosher salt

1 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup water

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup  sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced

10 kalamata olives

2 Tbs. unsalted butter, divided

1/4 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

parsley for garnish

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients over medium heat. Reduce the sauce by half. (About 10 minutes). In the meantime, heat 1 Tbs. of butter in a separate saucepan. Saute shrimp until tender, turning once. Add the heavy cream and the sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce mixture and reduce for 2 minutes. Add the water and let reduce for another 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 Tbs. of butter and Kalamata olives.

Turn off heat. Add shrimp to the sauce and stir until evenly coated. Pour onto a platter. Top with feta cheese and parsley.

ENJOY!
