  3. To the same pan, add in the onion and sauté on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. If you need some oil in the pan, add in a drizzle. Next stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Then add in the cooking wine, sun dried tomatoes and sauté for 1 minute. Add in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, parmesan and mix. Bring to a simmer and stir for a few minutes to thicken the sauce. Remove pan from heat and add in the baby spinach and shrimp and stir to coat and wilt the greens.
