Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce warm through, about 2 minutes. Do not boil.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute to reheat the shrimp.
  9. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Serve this Garlic Parmesan Shrimp over linguine or fettuccine for a complete Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Pasta dish.
  • For a richer flavor, use reserved oil from the sun-dried tomato jar instead of some of the olive oil.
  • This dish is excellent served with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
