One Pot Creamy Shrimp Florentine Skillet
Description
The One Pot Creamy Shrimp Florentine Skillet starts by melting butter and gently browning diced garlic before adding sundried tomatoes to soften. White wine is poured in and reduced by half, concentrating the flavors and forming the sauce base. Fresh spinach is cooked in the reduced liquid until wilted, adding a mild bitterness and vibrant color.
Heavy cream and Parmesan cheese are stirred in off the heat initially to prevent curdling, creating a rich and creamy texture. The heat is restored, and peeled, deveined shrimp are cooked in the sauce until opaque, absorbing the infused flavors. Thinly sliced lemons are added atop the shrimp, providing acidity and brightness to balance the richness.
The final dish has a silky sauce with hints of garlic, herbs, tomatoes, and a spicy note from red pepper flakes. It can be served alone or over pasta, rice, or vegetables. The single-pot method simplifies preparation and cleanup.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup garlic diced
- ¼ cup tomato sliced sundried
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning oregano, basil, thyme
- 1 cup spinach diced
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup parmesan shredded
- 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 lemon sliced into thin rounds and then halved
Instructions
- In a large, heavy pot, heat butter until melted.
- Add garlic and sautee on medium until very lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add in sundried tomatoes, cook until softened and garlic is browned.
- Pour white wine over garlic and tomatoes, let reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
- Cook spinach in when wine is reduced, and let wilt.
- Turn off heat, and pour cream in (pouring the cream in when its super hot will break the sauce).
- Add parmesan.
- Stir well to mix.
- Return heat to medium and stir well.

- Add lemons over the shrimp, let sauce reduce by half.
