Description

Make this rich and creamy sun-dried tomato and Parmesan shrimp dish. It features tender shrimp in a decadent garlic cream sauce, perfect for a special meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let it brown.
  4. Pour in the white wine or broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Add red pepper flakes if using.
  8. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  9. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce, about 1 minute.
  10. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately over pasta or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Serve this shrimp over cooked linguine, fettuccine, or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
  • For a brighter flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the shrimp.
