A quick and easy creamy shrimp dish with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, perfect for cozy dinners with a rich, flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (oil-packed recommended)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup white wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add minced garlic and chopped shallot. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and curled. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  4. Pour white wine into the skillet and scrape up browned bits. Let reduce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Lower heat and add heavy cream. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return shrimp to the skillet and warm together for 1-2 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

If sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or pasta water to loosen. Avoid overcooking shrimp to prevent rubbery texture. Use dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
