Shrimp Florentine
Check out this gorgeous dish that brings together juicy shrimp and creamy spinach goodness!
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick
- Cooked pasta of your choice (fettuccine works great!)
Instructions
- Start by heating up a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil and let it warm up.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
- Next, toss in your peeled shrimp. Season them with salt and pepper, then cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn a lovely pink color. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream. Stir it around and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. You want it slightly thickened.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the cream, creating a rich sauce.
- Add the fresh spinach, letting it wilt into the creamy goodness. If you’re feeling bold, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes for that extra spice!
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook for another minute or so to heat through.
- Serve over your favorite pasta, and watch your loved ones light up with joy! This dish is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavor!
