    Recipe by Chef Liz Barbour, The Creative Feast

    1 pound (21-25) shrimp,
     deveined and peeled
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 small onion, sliced thin
    4 garlic cloves, slivered
    Pinch crushed red pepper
    1 cup Candia Vineyards Diamond
    1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
    1 cup heavy cream
    1 tablespoon orange zest, in long strips
    1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
    ¼ cup fresh flat-leafed parsley, chopped
    ⅓ cup pine nuts, toasted
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    1 pound cooked pasta

    Serves 4

    In a large sauté pan, heat the onion and the oil over medium-low heat. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the shrimp and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

    Raise the heat to medium-high and add the wine. Simmer rapidly to reduce the wine by about one-third. Add the heavy cream and tomatoes and bring back to a simmer. Cook for about 3 minutes to thicken slightly. Add the crushed red pepper, orange zest, rosemary, and parsley and simmer for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

    Finish with toasted pine nuts and season with salt and pepper. Serve over pasta.
