Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Add butter to the same skillet. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not let it brown.
  4. Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add spinach to the sauce. Cook until the spinach wilts completely, stirring often.
  7. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir in red pepper flakes, if using.
  8. Cook for 1 minute more until the shrimp is heated through and coated in the creamy sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced.
  • If your sauce seems too thick, add a splash more chicken broth.
  • Serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread for dipping.
