Learn how to make delicious Creamy Tuscan Shrimp. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Feel free to substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a lighter version, or use frozen spinach if fresh isn’t available. Remember, cooking is about adapting to what you have on hand!

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it, as garlic can turn bitter quickly.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, continuing to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts into the sauce.
  6. Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through.
  7. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot, and enjoy the creamy, savory goodness!

As my abuela used to say, “No rush in the kitchen — let the flavors come together naturally.” Take a moment to savor the aroma as it fills your kitchen, bringing a little slice of Tuscany to your home.
