For the Bake

  • 4 cups Spinach Adds nutrition; swap with kale or Swiss chard if desired.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Room temperature blends more easily.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh gives the best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes Adjust moisture if using fresh tomatoes.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. Incorporate room-temperature cream cheese and heavy cream into the skillet with the shrimp. Stir continuously for about 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  5. Mix in fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, along with your seasonings, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  6. Transfer the shrimp and creamy mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with grated cheddar cheese.
  7. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake uncovered for about 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure shrimp are dried before cooking for the best texture. Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Monitor baking time carefully to prevent rubbery shrimp.
