Hi, I’m Alex, and I’m so glad you’re here. This Creamy Tuscan Shrimp recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor in one pan, perfect for your busy weeknights. We combine tender shrimp with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach in a rich garlic Parmesan cream sauce.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Stir in the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, if using.
  4. Pour in the white wine or broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer and reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and allow the sauce to warm through gently for 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly.
  6. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir constantly until the spinach wilts down, which takes about 2 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together gently until the shrimp is coated in the creamy sauce and heated through, about 1 minute.
  9. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately. This easy shrimp dinner is wonderful served over linguine or orzo, or enjoyed alone for a keto shrimp dinner option.

Notes

  • For the best creamy sauce texture, make sure your heavy cream is at room temperature before adding it to the skillet.
  • If you prefer a richer sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • To make this a Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Pasta, cook 1 pound of linguine or orzo according to package directions, drain, and toss directly into the skillet with the finished shrimp and sauce.
