Equipment

Ingredients
Shrimp
- 1 lb raw shrimp (large, peeled, and deveined) 16 or 20 count per pound
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (thyme, basil, oregano, rosemary)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper coarse

Instructions
How to sear the shrimp
- Season the shrimp with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat in a large skillet until hot. Add shrimp and minced garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes per side.
- Make sure the shrimp are not overcrowded to avoid steaming. You might have to work in batches. Remove from heat. Remove shrimp to a plate.
How to make Tuscan sauce
- To the same, now empty, skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped artichokes. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute on medium heat.
- Add fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, for a couple of minutes, on medium heat.
- To the skillet with sautéed vegetables, add 1 cup of heavy cream and paprika. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute, stirring. Season with salt, if needed. Add more paprika, if you like.
Assembly
- Add seared shrimp to the skillet with the cream sauce.
- Spoon the sauce over the shrimp, and simmer for about 2 minutes (or more), until the shrimp is warmed up and completely cooked through.
- Season with salt, if needed.
Notes
The recipe can also be easily adjusted to be dairy-free.
