Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

  4. Pour in heavy cream and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Stir to combine into a creamy sauce.
