Before you start
- Stovetop and large skillet
- Knife and cutting board
- Instant-read thermometer
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Step 1
Season peeled shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat one-quarter of the butter over medium-high heat and cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes, until opaque; reserve.
- Step 2
Stir onion and garlic in the pan for 1 minute, then tomatoes for another minute. Add stock and hot sauce, boil, and simmer for 1–2 minutes to reduce by half.
- Step 3
Stir remaining butter into the sauce gradually. Add spinach and cream; allow spinach to wilt.
- Step 4
Return shrimp for about 1 minute without overcooking. Finish with parsley and optional chili flakes.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: Not provided; protein: Not provided; total carbs: Not provided; fiber: Not provided; net carbs: Not provided
Source nutrition is reported only where its per-portion basis is supported. Unavailable totals are not estimated.
Listed allergens: milk, shellfish. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- The publisher lists 331 calories without a serving size or complete nutrition breakdown; per-portion nutrition remains unreported.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Christina Cherrier. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- The source does not provide verified values for every per-portion macronutrient. Missing values stay unreported; a keto label from the publisher is not a verified net-carb total.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
