Creamy Tuscan prawns with garlic, sun dried tomatoes, parmesan, spinach, and rich creamy sauce ready in just 20 minutes.
500g raw peeled king prawns or shrimp
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, finely diced
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon tomato puree
120ml chicken stock
240ml heavy cream, room temperature
125g sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
40g freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ bunch fresh basil, finely chopped
100g baby spinach leaves
Crusty bread and lemon wedges, for serving
Pat the prawns completely dry with paper towels. Toss with sun-dried tomato oil, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add half the prawns in a single layer and cook for 1 minute per side until lightly golden. Remove and repeat with remaining prawns.
Reduce heat to medium and melt butter in the same pan. Add garlic, smoked paprika, and oregano. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in tomato puree and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream. Stir well.
Add parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in spinach and any resting juices from the prawns. Cook until spinach wilts.
Return prawns to the pan and toss gently in the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm with crusty bread and lemon wedges.
Use room-temperature cream to help prevent curdling.
Freshly grated parmesan melts more smoothly into the sauce.
Serve over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
Add extra chili flakes for a spicy version.
