Having my family around is one of the blessings that I don’t take for granted. Today as we were celebrating Father’s Day, I decided to treat my favorite men on this planet, my husband and 2 brothers, with a delicious meal. They are wonderful fathers and husbands.
One of the dishes that I served them was a creamy and rich Tuscan shrimp recipe. It was so great to have all of them around and they enjoyed everything.
Marjie’s Tuscan Shrimp recipe.
Ingredients
2 lb. shrimp peeled, deveined, and tails removed
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs. butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup half and half
Mint thinly sliced
1 lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
1 tsp pepper flakes
Salt and black pepper to taste
Preparation
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil, add the shrimp and season them with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Sear them until they become opaque. Remove the shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Add the garlic and cook until they are fragrant for about one minute. Add the cherry tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the tomatoes until they are beginning to burst. Add the spinach and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and the wine.
Stir in the half and half, the Parmesan cheese and the mint. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 3 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook until shrimp is heated through.
I served this dish with some baked potatoes.
I really like your blog you have lot of nice recipes!
Thank you, Alessia!
My boys love shrimps and I don’t know what to do with them most of the type apart from putting it in a Vongole sauce. But this recipe looks amazing and I’m sure will be a big hit.
You should share your Vongole sauce recipe with me.
That looks so go! I would love to try and make that.
You should try, Megan!
I like seafood and this looks delicious.
Same for me, Ramil!
I like seafood and would surely try cooking this recipe. I will substitute the spinach though as this is not available in the Philippines.
Substitute and share with me, Ramil!
Thanks for sharing this, yet to know this recipe, now I learnt from your sharing, thanks! cheers, siennylovesdrawing

Yep! I want to make Marjie’s Tuscan Shrimp. You have me drooling, FOR REAL! I adore shrimp and don’t eat enough of it!!
I love them and make sure, I always have them on my fridge, Gigi!
This sounds absolutely delicious! I really need to give your Tuscan shrimp recipe a try… I love shrimp but don’t have it that often!
Try and let me know, Gigi!
Wow Marjie, this looks so good! This recipe looks fast and simple, I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Sabrina!
Everything looks so fresh and colorful . . . love! It’s time I break the shrimp cocktail tradition and give this one a try.
That’s exactly what my sister-in-law said, Janell!
Looks yum but I don’t eat shrimp 🙂
Try chicken!
Oh wow, this looks amazing! I love shrimp, and we have so much mint growing in the garden we need new recipes for it. And the rest of the ingredients look delicious together. I am definitely saving this one!
Same for me, Stephanie, I have mint, and I use them a lot in my cooking and iced tea.
We love shrimp and my family’s favorite way to cook it is Chili-Garlic Buttered shrimp, but your recipe is sure to be the next new favorite shrimp dish!
You should share that recipe with me, Annemarie!
Love that you have both cheese and half and half in the recipe
Awesome, Vaishali!
This recipe looks delicious and even easy to make! Might be a good way to sneak some spinage in on my family?
It sure is, Megan!
This looks amazing and I am going to try it. Is there something that you can think of that would be a good substitute for tomatoes in this recipe? Allergies ?
I would use red pepper bell, Pool!
Yummy! Your dish looks amazing! I would really love to try that out!
Try and let me know, Neil!
That looks really delicious. My hubby loves shrimp and I think he”ll really like this one. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Nish!
The flavours look yummy, so rich and traditional. Even better, I don’t think it would be too hard for me to veganise this dish. Thank you for the inspiration! ?
That is awesome, hope you like it.
This looks so yummy! I’ve got some leftover shrimp – might try it out!
Go for it, Annabel!
This is the perfect recipe for the summer. We have tomatoes, mint, and garlic in the garden!
Awesome, try and let me know, Margareth!

Enjoy, Aisasami!
This is looking really good! I literally just made shrimp tacos last night. Will definitely be grabbing more next time I go shopping – to try this out\!
I love shrimp tacos, Bobby, share your recipe with me.
Hmm.. I just thought of a few ways veganify this that I think would be pretty tasty… just figuring out how to infuse a shrimpy flavor without shrimp…
I am curious, if you find a good substitute, share with me, Amy-Lynn!
This is a really nice recipe. So easy to follow. It looks delicious too.
It was delicious, Elizabeth!
I wish I liked shrimp! This sounds like a good combination, but I’m not a shrimp eater. Will have to share with my family members who do love shrimp!

You amaze me how simple you make this sound to make. Having said that, I feel like I have 2 left hands when it comes to cooking so even getting started is scary.
Still, I do love and enjoy following your cooking tips, you make it sound easy and I`m sure it`s just as tasty. If I were not so far away, I`d be knocking at your door every time I thought dinner is being served lol.
Brilliant, I love your posts.
Roamy, I can guarantee you with two left hands, love, and determination, you can conquer the kitchen. I can wait to see you discovering the Chef dormant in you.
