Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb shrimp thawed, tails off
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 6 tsp minced garlic
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups whipping cream or half and half
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup chopped spinach

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet and season shrimp with salt and pepper. Sauté for several minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant (30 seconds or so.) Pour in the chicken broth and allow to reduce to half, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Reduce the heat and add the cream. Simmer for a minute and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and the chopped spinach until the cheese is melted and spinach has wilted.
  • Add the shrimp back to the pan and simmer for a minute or two. Then remove from heat and serve over pasta or rice.
