   Toss shrimp with salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil; heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

   Stir spinach, basil, wine, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper into mixture in skillet; cook over medium, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet, until wine mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream. Reduce heat to low, and add Parmesan cheese; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is slightly thickened and simmering, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
