SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES
Sun-dried tomatoes might scream 1980s nouveau cuisine to you, and that's a fair assessment considering their somewhat profligate use throughout the decade. Yet this dish may have you reconsidering their place in your pantry. Used sparingly, sun-dried tomatoes can impart a bold tomato-y taste that Mark Bittman argues is in some ways "better than 'real' tomato flavor." In this 20-minute sauté, the intense tang of capers and tomatoes plays beautifully off the mild sweetness of shrimp. Serve it over pasta or rice, or alone with a big hunk of good bread.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler; rack should be 2 to 4 inches from heat source and the heat as high as possible.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES, ARTICHOKES, LEMON AND BASIL
I love shrimp! I am like Bubba Gump in Forrest Gump. Fried! Broiled! Steamed! Sauteed! Just about any way is good for me. This is a simple recipe that's similar to shrimp scampi. The artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes with the basil and lemon make for a killer sauce over linguini or serve it with some toasted baguette to mop it up. Just don't let the sauce go to waste!

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until smoking. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, about 1 minute on each side. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside. Add the red onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Add the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
- Add the shrimp back to the pan and continue to cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Add about 1/4 cup of the reserved artichoke liquid. Season with salt and black pepper and add the red pepper. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon, add the butter (if using) and basil and stir together.
- Toss with linguine or serve in a bowl with some toasted baguette.

- Toss shrimp with salt, 2 teaspoons of garlic and 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with fresh ground pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED-TOMATO BARBECUE SAUCE
This is a spicy shrimp dish that goes great with crusty bread to sop up all the sauce. The recipe has a recommendation to serve it with either beer or an Italian Frascati wine. This was given to me by my father's receptionist out of one of her favorite cookbooks (sorry, I don't know the name of it). If I want to save time, I will add pre-cooked shrimp to the sauce and heat them through. This lets you skip the oven step completely.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for plump, firm shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil, and a good quality white wine.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauce at the end: This will help to prevent the tomatoes from becoming too dry and the sauce from becoming too thick.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to over-season the dish.
- Serve immediately: Shrimp with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the shrimp is still hot and juicy.
Conclusion:
This easy and delicious shrimp with sun-dried tomato sauce is a perfect weeknight meal. It's quick to prepare and packed with flavor. The sun-dried tomatoes add a sweet and tangy flavor to the sauce, and the shrimp is cooked to perfection. Serve this dish over pasta or rice for a complete meal.
