One-Pan Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Spinach

A bright, zesty one-pan meal with succulent shrimp and tender spinach in a garlicky white wine sauce. Inspired by DASH diet principles. Ready in about 30 minutes.

  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp 45 ml avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp 15 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ⅔ lbs 755 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined (21/25 count)
  • 2 large shallots (thinly sliced)
  • 8 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup 60 ml dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 ⅔ lbs 740 g fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tsp salt-free lemon pepper seasoning blend
  • 1 large lemon
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp 6 g fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry. Zest the lemon over the shrimp, then halve the lemon and reserve.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over high until shimmering. Sear shrimp in one layer 60 to 90 seconds per side until pink with light crust. Transfer to a clean plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Cook shallots 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and smoked paprika 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze with white wine, scraping browned bits. Add spinach in batches with the salt-free lemon pepper, stirring until wilted, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Squeeze in the reserved lemon juice. Stir in olive oil, black pepper, and cayenne to form a cohesive sauce.
  6. Return shrimp and any juices. Fold gently and cook 2 to 3 minutes until shrimp are opaque and curled into a loose C shape. Target 63°C (145°F) internal temperature if using a thermometer.
  7. Serve spinach on plates, top with shrimp, spoon over pan sauce, and garnish with dill.

Notes

Great on its own or with quinoa, brown rice, or whole-wheat pasta. For a non-alcohol option use low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container within 2 hours and use within 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
