Make this restaurant-quality Creamy Tuscan Shrimp in your kitchen in under 30 minutes. This one-pan skillet meal features juicy shrimp in a rich garlic cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter melts and foams.
  3. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  5. Pour in the white wine (or broth) to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts completely, about 2 minutes.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the creamy sauce. Heat through for 1 minute.
  10. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  11. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Serve this rich, creamy seafood pasta dish over linguine or fettuccine for a complete meal.
  • For a low-carb option, serve the Tuscan shrimp over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • If you do not have white wine, use chicken broth for the sauce base.
