Ingredients
- 454 g raw shrimp (large, peeled, and deveined – 16 or 20 count per 454 g of shrimp)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) Italian seasoning (thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary)
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) coarse black pepper
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 113 g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (about 60 ml)
- 397 g artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (1 can or about 240 ml)
- 113 g fresh spinach
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- This dish requires 454 g of large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, typically 16 or 20 per package. Coat the shrimp with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning blend, salt, and coarse black pepper.
- Warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pan until it’s hot. Add the shrimp and minced garlic, cooking for around 2 minutes on each side.
- Ensure the shrimp aren’t crowded to prevent steaming; you may need to cook them in batches. Once done, remove them from the heat and transfer the shrimp to a separate plate.
- In the same pan, now emptied, introduce the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and diced artichokes. Stir and cook for 1 minute over medium heat.
- Introduce the fresh spinach to the pan. Cook on medium heat until the spinach is wilted, which should take a few minutes.
- Pour 240 ml of heavy cream and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika into the pan with the vegetables, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about a minute, stirring continuously. Add salt to taste, and more paprika if desired.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, immersing them in the creamy sauce.
- Ladle the sauce over the shrimp, allowing it to simmer for about 2 more minutes, or until the shrimp are thoroughly heated and fully cooked.
- Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Notes
- Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for a delicious flavor.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the shrimp in the pan to prevent steaming and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the creamy sauce seasoning with salt and more smoked paprika to suit your taste preferences.
