Ingredients
  

1 lb large prawns (peeled and deveined)

3 cups baby spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Prawns: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the prawns, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.

    Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

      Create the Cream Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until well combined. Add the Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Add Spinach and Prawns: Once the sauce is creamy and slightly thickened, add the baby spinach and stir until wilted. Return the cooked prawns to the skillet, gently folding them into the sauce to warm through for another 2 minutes.

          Serve: Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. This dish pairs beautifully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
