Garlic Shrimp and Sun Dried Tomatoes with Pasta in a Spicy Creamy Sauce I got this from Pinterest and LOVED it, however I've added a few changes in the recipe, so its mine now. 6 to 30 small shrimps; cut into halves with shells on 4 oz sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil (half the 8 oz if that is all you can find) 1 tsp salt (pasta and for the desired amount ( just to give you an idea) 1/4 teaspoon paprika 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 or 3/4 cup whole milk (half and half or other milk options) - I used less bc I used less shrimp (6 count- diced) 1 teaspoon dried basil ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper ( ½ packet that the pizza man delivers) 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (ask your local grocery store to cut a chunk for you) 8 oz fettuccine pasta (organic or from your local farmers market is great) – Support Locals   Drain the sun dried tomatoes in the jar, but set aside 2 tablespoons for reserve later in the recipe.
