Ingredients

• 1 lb raw shrimp (large, peeled, and deveined – 16 or 20 count per 1 pound of shrimp)
• Creole Seasoning
• 5 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Creamy Tuscan sauce

• 4 oz sun-dried tomatoes chopped (about ¼ cup)
• 14 oz artichoke hearts drained and chopped (1 can or about 1 cup)

How to sear the shrimp

How to make Tuscan sauce

1. To the same, now empty, skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped artichokes. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute on medium heat.
2. Add fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, for a couple of minutes, on medium heat.
3. To the skillet with sautéed vegetables, add 1 cup of Half-n-Half and paprika. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 1 minute, stirring. Season with salt, if needed. Adjust seasoning.
4. Add seared shrimp to the skillet with the cream sauce.
5. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp, and simmer for about 2 minutes (or more), until the shrimp is warmed up and completely cooked through.
