Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Tuscan Shrimp
  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  5. Step 5: Pour in the heavy cream, add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Step 6: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
  7. Step 7: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  8. Step 8: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
