I love this keto-friendly and low-carb shrimp dish in a light and creamy garlic Parmesan sauce packed with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. A great option if you are looking for another meal to impress everyone around the table. The best part is you can easily throw this together using only a few simple ingredients, and this is ready in no more than twenty minutes!
This is not your traditional Tuscan recipe. Whenever I see Tuscan, I thought of chicken, but this recipe put fun and delicious twist to our favourite Tuscan recipe. Shrimp, garlic, and butter is the perfect combination. Then, nestle the shrimps in a divine and creamy Tuscan sauce to sip all the wonderful flavour and cook until done.
