Creamy Garlic Shrimp with Spinach
This delicious Creamy Garlic Shrimp with Spinach recipe is one of the easiest skillet meals you can make! Juicy shrimp are pan seared and then cooked in a garlic butter sauce, then mixed with spinach and sour cream for a tasty 15-minute dinner. Plus, you can reheat the leftovers the next day or simply pack them as lunch for work.
The whole thing is complemented in a fantastic way by the sun-dried tomatoes, which add a touch of sweetness, and by the spinach, which soaks up some sauce and makes the dish not so heavy. This tastes great served with gluten-free pasta, toasted bread, roasted asparagus, or broccoli. And if you fancy an extra boost, you can add a dash of chili flakes.
