Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season shrimp with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add shrimp and garlic to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and drained artichoke hearts. Sauté over medium heat for about 1 minute. Then add fresh spinach, stirring until wilted, approximately 2 minutes.
  3. Pour heavy cream into the skillet with vegetables and sprinkle with smoked paprika. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring consistently for about 1 minute until warmed and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt as necessary.
  4. Return the seared shrimp to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to ensure shrimp is thoroughly warmed.
