How to Make Tuscan Shrimp
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted.
Return shrimp to the pan and toss everything together until coated in sauce.
How to Serve
Serve hot over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
Tips for Best Results
Don’t overcook shrimp—they cook fast. Use fresh parmesan for a smoother sauce. Simmer sauce gently to avoid curdling. Add shrimp back at the end to keep them juicy.
Variations
Use chicken instead of shrimp. Add mushrooms for extra depth. Make it spicy with chili flakes. Use half-and-half for a lighter version.
Storage and Reheating
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream or broth.
Final Thoughts
Tuscan Shrimp is a creamy, comforting, and flavorful dish that feels like fine dining but is incredibly easy to make at home. It’s rich, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.
