Cook this flavorful shrimp dish entirely in one pan for fast preparation and easy cleanup. It features shrimp in a rich, creamy sauce flavored with sun-dried tomatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute to heat the shrimp through.
  10. Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve this dish over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • If you prefer a tangier sauce, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard when you add the heavy cream.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if needed.
