  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tbsp olive oil

45 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

5 oz fresh spinach (about 5 cups), washed and roughly chopped

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drain and chop sun-dried tomatoes, mince garlic, and chop spinach.

2. 2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; sauté 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer gently 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. 4. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in spinach a handful at a time until wilted. Gently fold in seasoned shrimp, coating with sauce.

5. 5. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Transfer skillet to oven and bake 10-15 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque, and sauce is bubbly.

6. 6. Let rest 1-2 minutes, then garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

For best results, use fresh garlic, full-fat heavy cream, and freshly grated Parmesan. Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender. Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3-4 days; reheat gently in oven or stovetop with a splash of broth or cream. Freezing is not recommended as shrimp may become rubbery.
