creamy shrimp dish, where the richness of parmesan meets the fresh, earthy tones of spinach, all brought together with a garlicky punch.
Ingredients:
🔸 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
🔸 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
🔸 1 cup fresh spinach
🔸 1 cup heavy cream
🔸 1/2 cup fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
🔸 1/8 teaspoon ground paprika (optional)
🔸 1 tablespoon butter
🔸 1/4 teaspoon paprika
🔸 Salt and pepper, to taste
Methods:
1️⃣ Prep Shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
2️⃣ Cook Shrimp: In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat the butter. Cook the shrimp for 30 seconds on each side, then remove from the pan and set aside.
3️⃣ Sauté Garlic: In the same pan, add a bit more butter if necessary. Cook the garlic and optional ground red pepper for 15 seconds, just until fragrant.
4️⃣ Add Spinach: Introduce the fresh spinach to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
5️⃣ Create Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir and season again with salt and pepper if needed. Let it cook for 6-7 minutes or until the sauce thickens notably.
6️⃣ Combine: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for an additional 30 seconds to ensure the shrimp are heated through.
7️⃣ Garnish & Serve: If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
