Creamy Tuscan Shrimp

Here’s a detailed Creamy Tuscan Shrimp recipe—rich, garlicky, and full of flavor, perfect for a quick dinner.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

• 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup chicken broth (or white wine)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the shrimp
   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
   • Cook shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
2. Prepare the sauce
   • In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
   • Add cherry tomatoes and cook 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
   • Add chicken broth (or wine) and scrape the pan to loosen browned bits.
   • Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Add greens and shrimp
   • Add spinach and cook until wilted.
   • Return shrimp to the skillet and coat with sauce, heating for 1–2 minutes.
4. Serve
   • Garnish with parsley and serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

✅ Tips:

• Add sun-dried tomatoes for deeper flavor.
• Deglaze the pan with white wine for a more aromatic sauce.
• For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
