Creamy Parmesan Shrimp With Peppers & Spinach

This easy one pot Creamy Parmesan Shrimp with Peppers & Spinach dish is the answer to your prayers for an easy yet elevated family dinner. Shrimp, peppers and spinach are simmered in a creamy parmesan cream sauce. I use ready peeled shrimp for ultimate ease!

Shrimp (or prawns as they're called in the UK) are the ultimate fast food.

If you buy them peeled they require zero prep. They're healthy yet also somehow still feel like a treat.

Plus kids seem to love them. And I’m always into any recipe that gets children excited about eating fish or seafood.

This recipe was inspired by a fabulous fellow blogger, Meghan, over at Fox & Briar. I added some more veggies to my version (always) plus I changed up the sauce a little. But I love this idea for it's one pot ease.

Tips For Making Creamy Parmesan Shrimp

• Try not to overcook the shrimp or they will become tough! They should be pink on the outside and slightly opaque in the middle.

• I used ready peeled shrimp with their tails on for ease and convenience. But feel free to shell them at home if you prefer. Equally, fully peeled shrimp would also be fine.

• This dish is also great for entertaining a crowd. You can easily double this recipe up if you have a large skillet to make it in.

• Serve this dish with pasta. Or rice or veggie zoodles for lower carbs.

• For a relaxed dinner serve with bread to mop up those delicious juices.
