How to Make Our Keto Creamy Tuscan Shrimp
Season the shrimp.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Sear to perfection.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, just until pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Build the sauce base.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add sun-dried tomatoes.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and let them warm through, releasing their flavor into the butter and garlic
Create the creamy sauce.
Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly.
Wilt the spinach.
Add the baby spinach and stir until just wilted, keeping the sauce smooth and creamy.
Bring it all together.
Return the shrimp to the pan and coat them in the sauce. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
Taste and adjust.
Finish with chili flakes, extra parmesan, or a splash of cream based on your keto preference.
This high-protein, low-carb dinner is rich, satisfying, and perfect for quick weeknight meals or easy keto meal prep.
