Creamy Tuscan Shrimp

Creamy Tuscan Shrimp is rich, velvety, and bursting with garlicky goodness—a true one-skillet wonder that brings restaurant-style comfort straight to your table in under 30 minutes. Juicy shrimp are seared until tender, then nestled into a luxurious cream sauce studded with sweet blistered tomatoes, wilted spinach, and savory Parmesan. Every bite delivers balance: richness from the cream and butter, freshness from herbs and greens, and bright pops of tomato.

This dish is designed for ease without sacrificing flavor. Cooking everything in a single skillet builds depth as each layer leaves behind flavorful fond in the pan. The sauce thickens gently, coating the shrimp without overwhelming them, while the spinach adds color and a light, earthy note. Whether served with crusty bread or spooned over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, this is a weeknight showstopper you’ll want to repeat.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil – Adds fruity depth and helps prevent the butter from browning too quickly.
• 2 tbsp butter – Brings richness and forms the base of the sauce.
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails off – Use medium to large shrimp for the juiciest results.
• Salt & pepper to taste – Season lightly at each step to build balanced flavor.
• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced – Infuses the sauce with bold, aromatic warmth.
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved – Provide sweetness and gentle acidity.
• 3–4 cups baby spinach – Wilts quickly and adds freshness and color.
• ¾ cup heavy cream – Creates the silky, luxurious sauce.
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan – Adds savory depth and helps thicken the sauce.
• 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, thinly sliced – Finishes the dish with brightness and aroma.
