Description
Make restaurant-quality Creamy Tuscan Shrimp entirely on the stovetop. This one-pan meal features tender shrimp in a rich, garlic-parmesan cream sauce with sun-dried and fresh tomatoes and spinach. It is fast and elegant.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp, raw, deveined, tail removed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, diced (about ¼ cup)
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, softened in water according to package instructions, drained, chopped
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups baby spinach
- parsley, chopped for garnish
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Season shrimp evenly with salt and pepper.
- To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add shrimp and cook about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and tent to keep warm. Set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add shallots and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook until the shallots are softened (2-4 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Sprinkle flour over the top and stir to combine.
- Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and cherry tomatoes. Stir to combine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan as you go.
- Reduce heat to low. Simmer until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add spinach and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Top with cooked shrimp. Serve immediately garnished with parsley and extra parmesan cheese.
Notes
- This dish is inspired by Italian bistro flavors and balances comfort with elegance.
- The sauce thickens as the cheese melts and simmers.
- Use room temperature heavy cream for a smoother sauce incorporation.
