You can make this restaurant-quality Tuscan shrimp in under 30 minutes. This one-pan meal features juicy shrimp in a rich garlic cream sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound 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 dry white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour in the white wine (or broth) and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, stirring until it wilts completely, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to coat the shrimp in the creamy sauce. Cook for 1 minute until the shrimp are heated through.
  9. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, skip the pasta and serve this creamy Tuscan shrimp skillet over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • If you do not have white wine, use chicken broth or vegetable broth for the sauce base.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp; they cook very fast and become tough if left in the heat too long.
