This shrimp recipe is the real deal, a straightforward funky dish made of shrimp, garlic, wine, butter and a handful of spinach. A fuss-free dinner with the most indulgent result.
This recipe comes together really fast. We start by marinating the shrimp briefly in a mix of grated garlic, some spices and oil. This way we’ll create a deeper flavor and elevate the whole dish in only 20 minutes to something truly exciting. Then we sear the shrimp, make the sauce, add spinach, and done.
When it’s finished, each bite will be loaded with layers of flavors. You’ll get some heat from the cayenne pepper, acid from the lemon, creaminess from the butter, a little fruity wine and lots of garlic!
Serve on a big platter or straight from the pan surrounded by fresh bread and a side salad. Delicious!

Delicious! Was looking for something fairly uncomplicated with some frozen shrimp I had and this was perfect – the broth was perfect with bread.
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for giving it a try and making!
I tried this instead of traditional Scampi and found quite bland. I had to add salt and even then –– it lacked something.
So sorry to hear you did not enjoy this recipe.
I’m sorry. The spice combination seems off. Too much salt and cumin, which totally overwhelmed the gorgeous shrimp. Sadly we couldn’t eat it.
Hi Vicky, so sorry you did not enjoy this dish, I wish I could help!
Our family LOVED this dish. So much flavor, I didn’t have coriander and we didn’t miss it at all. Can’t wait to make again and have plans to add clams and mussels too. Thanks for such an incredible dish!
Hi Michelle, I’m thrilled to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, thanks so much for giving it a go!
