Creamy Garlic Tuscan Shrimp is coated in a light and creamy sauce filled with with garlic, sun dried tomatoes and spinach.

Packed with incredible flavors!

We love variety at our home and this creamy garlic Tuscan shrimp gives just that! It literally takes fifteen minutes to make but tastes like you spent hours. I flavor is out of this world and you will literally go back again and again for more.

I love using shrimp because it cuts the time down by half. One of my most popular recipes is this Creamy Tuscan Chicken which is very similar. So if you don’t like shrimp or your family needs more classic tastes go with chicken. Either way you will be blown away from the flavors!
