Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 265kcal
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1 pound frozen shrimp or fresh shrimp thawed, de-veined
- 1 Tablespoon + 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ small white onion finely chopped
- 1 ¼ teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ cups grape tomatoes halved
- 5 ½ cups fresh spinach
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh basil leaves
- ¼ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup unsalted chicken stock
Optional Garnishes:
- ⅛ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Chopped fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp oil. Wait for oil to be hot and glistening. Add shrimp and cook until cooked through, flipping once, about 1 minute on each side. Using tongs, transfer cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce stovetop heat to medium. In pan, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil before adding and cooking chopped onion until softened, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, stirring constantly and being careful to watch it closely to avoid burning.
- Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Then, add smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir tomatoes into spices. Add spinach and chopped basil, then pour in coconut milk and chicken stock. Cook until spinach has fully wilted, about 3-4 minutes, gently stirring occasionally.
- Add cooked shrimp back to the pan to reheat, sprinkle with Italian seasoning and fresh basil or parsley, and serve.
Notes

For the quickest option, I would suggest using microwavable steamed vegetables. Note: These pairings are not included in the nutrition information.
