Instructions
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet.
When the butter has melted, add the shrimp and sprinkle with the garlic powder and paprika. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic to the pan and stir well to combine. Let the sauce cook for 2 minutes to thicken over low heat.
Add the spinach and stir well. Continue cooking over low heat until spinach has wilted and sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with salt, to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serve immediately and consider tossing leftovers with steamed rice or zucchini noodles.
