Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Sherry Cream Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in sherry wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.

  3. 3

    Add Cream and Season

    Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently fold the sautéed spinach and jumbo lump crabmeat into the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cheese

    Remove from heat and sprinkle the Manchego cheese over the top. Allow it to melt slightly before serving.
