  3. On a med-high heat and in a very large sauté pan, heat the EVOO until it shimmers. Add the garlic and the shallot and sauté until translucent. Next, add the mushrooms and allow the mushrooms to get a little color on them before adding the shrimp. Shrimp and sauté until it turns pink. Add the spinach and cover the pan. Allow the spinach to wilt, then remove entire sauté pan from the heat and set aside.

  4. In a dry saucepan, add 1 cup of dry white wine. Allow the alcohol to burn off and add the lemon juice. Slowly add the heavy cream and whisk constantly to prevent the cream from separating. Add the white pepper and cracked pepper. Stir and bring to a light simmer making sure not to scorch the bottom or burn the cream mixture.
