Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season 1 lb of shrimp with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Add the shrimp and 5 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, cooking for about 2 minutes per side until just opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add 4 oz of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 14 oz of chopped artichoke hearts. Stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 4 oz of fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer, allowing to thicken slightly for about 1 minute.
  4. Return the seared shrimp to the skillet, spooning the cream sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
