# Instructions:
01 -
Use a paper towel to dry the shrimp well. Sprinkle evenly with paprika, the herb mix, and salt.

Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes on each side, then move them to a plate.
03 -
In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes on medium. Add the garlic and let it cook for 30 seconds. Drizzle in more oil if necessary.
04 -
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and pour in the wine. Let it cook for a minute before adding the half and half, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings like salt and pepper. Simmer until it thickens, stirring now and then.
05 -
Turn off the heat and mix the spinach and cooked shrimp into the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts and the shrimp are covered in sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
Half and half is equal parts milk and heavy cream. Heavy cream alone works too if preferred.

Leftovers keep well in the fridge inside a sealed container.

Pair this dish with steamed veggies, rice, orzo, or even mashed potatoes.
