Creamy Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp:


Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Shrimp:
    • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
    • Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add Seasoning:
    • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Spinach:
    • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Combine Shrimp and Sauce:
    • Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the creamy sauce. Let everything heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and serve immediately.
    • This dish pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the luscious sauce.
