I was making dinner the other night for just the two of us and was planning on making Chicken Florentine. I couldn't just buy 1 chicken breast so I decided to make Shrimp Florentine instead. I served it on a bed of noodles, but you could serve it on its own or with rice.
Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
9 ounces frozen spinach, liquid squeezed out
2 shallots, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
⅓ cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
salt
fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
1Peel and devein the shrimp if needed.
2Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat. Add oil.
3Add shallots and sauté until softened, then add the spinach, garlic and cook until fragrant.
4Pour in white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to let the alcohol cook out.
5Stir in heavy whipping cream and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper and bring the mixture to simmer.
6Nestle shrimp in the pan among the spinach and sauce. Cook until shrimp turns pink and opaque on one side and flip. Cook until shrimp turns pink and opaque on the other side as well. Take off heat and serve.
