Shrimp in Saffron Tomato Cream Sauce

Smarts: Saffron can be an expensive spice, but a little goes a long way so no need to overdo it.

Make

  1. Combine saffron and white wine.
  2. Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and then onions to heated oil. Saute until softened, ~3 minutes.
  3. Add saffron infused wine and garlic. Saute for another minute or two, and then add in tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sweetener. Saute for ~5 minutes. At this point, you have the option of pureeing your sauce with an immersion blender directly in the pan, transferring the sauce to a blender to puree, or just skipping the puree step altogether.
  4. Return (pureed or not) sauce to a simmer and then add in shrimp. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until shrimp is cooked through.
  5. Remove saute pan from heat and fold in cream (if using) and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and garnish with parsley.
  6. Next heat a skillet or frying pan to medium-high heat. Add in cooking oil and then mushrooms to heated oil with white wine. Cook until softened, ~4 minutes.
  7. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Finish with parsley and salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Warm up leftover tortilla. Enjoy with shrimp and mushrooms. BTW, the saffron-tomato cream sauce will go great with the tortilla too!
