Creamy Tuscan Shrimp is a one-pan, 30-minute meal featuring tender shrimp in a velvety cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, and Parmesan. It’s packed with bold Italian flavors and perfect for serving over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer until slightly thickened.
  7. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
  8. Return shrimp to skillet and simmer for 1–2 more minutes to heat through.
  9. Adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Use chicken or scallops instead of shrimp for variation.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream and omit cheese.
  • Add mushrooms or cherry tomatoes for more texture.
  • Deglaze with white wine for added depth before adding cream.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
