Make this restaurant-style Tuscan shrimp with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in under 30 minutes. This simple, rich garlic Parmesan cream sauce makes an impressive 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 roughly 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. Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  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 gently simmer until it starts to thicken slightly, about 3 minutes.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down, which takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the shrimp in the cream sauce. Cook just until the shrimp are heated through, about 1 minute.
  9. Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a complete meal, serve this creamy Tuscan shrimp over cooked linguine or fettuccine pasta.
  • If you prefer a lower-carb option, serve this garlic Parmesan shrimp over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • To make this a one pan shrimp dinner, add 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes along with the sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
