Ingredients

  • 1 lb large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 oz sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 4 oz fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika for the sauce

Instructions

  • Season the shrimp with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the shrimp and minced garlic.
  • Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side, until pink. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Remove the shrimp from the skillet and place it on a plate.
  • Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts to the same skillet, then cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
  • Add the spinach and cook for a few minutes, until wilted.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the remaining ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Return the shrimp to the skillet, spoon the creamy Tuscan sauce over the shrimp, and simmer for about 2 minutes until heated through and fully cooked.

Notes

  • Use raw shrimp for the best texture. Pre-cooked shrimp can become rubbery if cooked too long.
  • This dish is best served right away while the sauce is creamy and the shrimp are tender.
