Creamy Shrimp Blush Sauce

Here is another winner that Kyle and I have been making for about 2 1/2 years.  For my 23 birthday, Kyle decided to try to cook me dinner, and he found this great recipe for a Shrimp Cream-Blush Sauce I have adapted and changed over the years.  Honestly, I think it is rarely exactly the same, but it never ceases to be every bit creamy, shrimp-y and yummy!

This is a great comfort food blush sauce, and still tastes great minus the shrimp.  This is DEFINITELY a divulge kind-of sauce, but it is sooo worth it!

What you need:
1 lb raw shrimp (I used farm raised)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
3 tsp onion powder (makes up for chopped onion)
1/2 cup white wine
10 oz plain tomato sauce
16 oz Crushed Tomatoes in italian herbs
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1/2 cup Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Fat Free Sour Cream
2 tbsp Fresh Basil
2 tsp parsley (dried or fresh)
salt and pepper to taste
13 1/4 oz Barilla Whole Wheat Linguine

How to:
Cook pasta according to box directions.

Peel shrimp.  In a large skillet over medium heat combine olive oil, garlic & onion powder.

I prefer to Chop my raw shrimp!  We like the smaller pieces.

After about 2 minutes add white wine and let simmer for about a minute.  Add tomato sauce and stir well.  Let sit about 2 minutes.  Add crushed tomatoes and stir well.  Simmer for approx. 5 minutes on medium-low heat.

tomato sauce & crushed tomatoes added

Stir in heavy cream, greek yogurt & sour cream.  Stir well and let simmer on medium-low heat for approx 5 minutes.  Return heat to medium, Add raw shrimp and let simmer stirring every few minutes.  Let cook on Medium for about 5 minutes, then turn down to medium-low heat.

After cream, with raw shrimp.

Finished creamy yummy product!

 Stir in basil, parsley & salt and pepper.

Serve over Barilla Whole Wheat Linguine and enjoy!!

It's okay, you can drool. I am!

WW Friends: this yields 9 points plus per serving - 1/2 cup of sauce & 1cup of whole wheat linguine.  YUMMMMM!!!

**I measured this recipe according to Whole Wheat Pasta - however when pictures were taken, we had this with the PinWheel Pasta but the measurements for WW are correct!**

Enjoy! - Jack
