creamy garlic shrimp

This creamy garlic Tuscan shrimp recipe with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and basil is rich, decadent, and ready in about 15 minutes! Great served over pasta or mashed potatoes.

Creamy Tuscan Shrimp

shrimp (I used 31-40 count size) (thawed & peeled)

butter

flour

garlic (minced)

heavy/whipping cream

lemon juice

Italian seasoning

tomatoes

(packed) fresh baby spinach

basil

Salt & pepper (to taste)

Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring until smooth. 

Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Stir in the cream, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes. Reduce heat if it's bubbling too much. 

Add the shrimp and cook for around 5 minutes or until they're cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, taking care not to overcook them.&nbsp;

Add the spinach and basil and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt &amp; pepper as needed. Serve immediately. I like to squeeze extra lemon juice over top when serving (up to you). You could also grate some fresh parmesan over top if you wish.

An amazingly quick and easy curry filled with plump shrimp and juicy bell pepper. The coconut sauce is ultra creamy, slightly spicy and can’t-stop-eating-delicious.

Thai Coconut Shrimp Curry

soy sauce

½ tsp red pepper flakes

turmeric

garlic powder

¼ tsp white pepper

unsalted butter

bell pepper (sliced)

tbsp ginger

shallot (finely chopped)

broth

tbsp mild red curry paste

brown sugar

½ tsp turmeric (ground cumin, ground coriander)

tbsp fish sauce

full fat coconut milk ((14 oz/400 ml) coconut milk)

lime (juiced)

tsp sriracha (optional)

torn thai basil

scallions

onions

cilantro

chili pepper

marinating

Get all the prep done before you start cooking. Add shrimp, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, turmeric, garlic powder and white pepper to a bowl. Stir to combine, set aside.

chopping

Grate the ginger and garlic cloves. Finely chop the shallot and slice the bell pepper.

searing

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over high. Place shrimp in a single layer. Sear, 1 minute per side. Remove from skillet.

sautéing

In the same skillet, add bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until it starts to soften. Add garlic, ginger and shallot. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Deglaze with chicken broth, simmer for 2 minutes while stirring and scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.

simmering

Stir in red curry paste. Add brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, coriander, white pepper, soy and fish sauce. Cook for 1 minute, stir frequently. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.

tossing

Add lime juice, sriracha and Thai basil. Stir to combine. Toss in shrimp, simmer for no longer than 1 minute. Top with cilantro leaves, fried onions and chili pepper. Serve with a crunchy cucumber salad and steamed rice. Enjoy!

This was fantastic! I also added broccoli &amp; baby corn. I sampled as I was cooking fully expecting to add more soy sauce or sriracha or turmeric but nope —it was already perfect! It took about 30 mins to make and there was a fair bit of cleanup afterwards but it was totally worth it!

It’s was fun to make and we added tofu, lime zest, and extra bell peppers.. sautéed onions with bell peppers. I’ll make this again, but probably use less red curry paste, no red pepper, and more coconut milk to our liking. Husband couldn’t finish it and I sweated  threw it lol . Otherwise a good recipe. Any other suggestions to make it a little less spicy?

OMG—This may just be the best dinner I’ve ever made! Didn’t have bell pepper so put in yellow squash. Also used yellow curry paste instead since that’s all I had. Thank you for a great recipe!!

We had this for dinner last night and really enjoyed it. The flavors were wonderful. I will definitely make this again.

I loved this recipe using red curry paste! Do you have suggestions or modifications for using green curry paste just for a change of pace?
Thanks for this delicious recipe!

Made this a couple of nights ago and it was/is delicious! ( have to dial back the Thai chili paste next time: I loved it but too much for one: she actually had coffee ice cream immediately after to cool palate!😉). Definitely a keeper !!

This is a great recipe, although I’ve never seen “mild red curry paste” and so the curry I made was definitely not kid friendly.  Good thing my fridge is jammed with stuff for my kiddo!  Definitely will make again.  I even added another can of coconut milk and it is still pretty darn spicy!

This dish was to die for. As usual with Anna's recipes, the prep work was work every chop, slice, and measure. My husband could not stop eating it and I was right behind him. I followed the recipe exactly as written down to the garnish suggestions. I always find that these recipes are tried and tested so I don't mess with the measures and they always turn out for me. Such a tasty dish with such a true Thai flavour explosion. Thumbs up for this one! Will definitely be adding this to my favourites list. Thank you.

This creamy garlic shrimp skillet is perfect for a quick and easy meal, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
