4. Combine Ingredients: Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the fresh spinach, and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy this creamy shrimp dish with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Final Tips

• Shrimp Choice: Opt for fresh shrimp when possible for the best flavor, and be sure they’re deveined for a cleaner taste.
• Substitutions: You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but the dish will be less creamy.
• Accompaniments: Pair with your favorite pasta or a crusty loaf of bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
