Prepare a quick, low-carb, high-fat shrimp dish featuring a rich, creamy Tuscan sauce with spinach and sun-dried tomatoes in one skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 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 chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Pour the heavy cream and chicken broth into the same skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down, about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
  9. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breast for shrimp if desired, cooking it until done before making the sauce.
  • For a richer flavor, use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the spinach.
