Tuscan Shrimp
Tuscan Shrimp is a creamy, flavorful dish. It's perfect for a quick yet elegant dinner that feels like a trip to Italy!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. large shrimp peeled and deveined
- ½ lb. cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 c. chicken broth
- ½ c. white wine
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 1 small white onion chopped
- 1 c. spinach chopped
- ½ c. heavy cream
- ¼ c. grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add red onion, white onion, and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant. Stir in cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach. Cook until tomatoes start to soften.
- Pour in chicken broth and white wine. Add smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and coat them in the sauce.
- Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the shrimp: They cook fast, just a couple of minutes per side is all you need.
- Use fresh spinach: It wilts beautifully and adds color and nutrients.
- Deglaze with wine: It adds depth of flavor, but you can sub chicken broth if you prefer.
- Serve with crusty bread or pasta: That sauce is too good to waste!
