Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp with Spinach & Sun Dried Tomatoes - Tuscan Shrimp Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter.

Once the butter has melted, add 6 cloves of minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add 1 pound of peeled shrimp, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook for 4 minutes until they begin to turn pink. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, use the leftover melted butter to cook 1 small minced onion for about 1 minute until caramelized.

Pour in 1/2 cup of white wine and cook for about 1 minute until it reduces.

Add 2/3 cup of sun-dried tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute to release flavors.

Pour in 1 and 3/4 cups of half and half, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything together.

Allow the sauce to come to a simmer, then add 2 cups of spinach and cook until wilted.

Stir in 2/3 cup of parmesan cheese and let the sauce continue to cook until the cheese is melted.

Add the cooked shrimp back into the sauce, along with fresh parsley, and mix everything together, cooking for about 1 minute.
