How to Make Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Recipe
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sun‑dried tomatoes, sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Toss in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
