Make this flavorful and impressive shrimp dish entirely in one pan for fast cooking and minimal cleanup. The sauce features sun-dried tomatoes and cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  7. Add the raw shrimp to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Do not overcook.
  8. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce, about 1 minute.
  9. Serve immediately directly from the pan.

Notes

  • Serve this dish over cooked pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles to soak up the extra sauce.
  • For a tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice at the end of cooking.
  • You can substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth if preferred.
