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 chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season 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 shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Do not let the sauce boil once the cheese is added.
  8. Add the fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts down completely, about 2 minutes.
  9. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
  10. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve this garlic Parmesan shrimp over fettuccine pasta or alongside crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
  • For a tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the sauce when you add the heavy cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the cream simmer uncovered for an extra minute before adding the cheese.
