Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season 1 pound of shrimp with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Once the oil shimmers, add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add ¼ cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1 cup of drained, chopped artichoke hearts. Stir and cook the mixture for about 1 minute to blend the flavors, then toss in 4 ounces of fresh spinach. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach wilts down beautifully and brightens in color.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add an additional ¼ teaspoon of smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until the cream is well combined and starts to thicken slightly.
  4. Carefully return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, spooning the rich sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the shrimp warms through and absorbs the luscious flavors of the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning if desired.
