  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (in oil or rehydrated)
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Shrimp
1. Rinse and Dry: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp
1. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Sauté Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce
1. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
2. Add Spinach: Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
3. Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 4: Combine and Serve
1. Return Shrimp: Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and stir to coat them in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
2. Garnish: Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Step 5: Serve
1. Serve: Serve the creamy Tuscan shrimp over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
