Step-by-Step Instructions for Low-Carb Shrimp Tuscan Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh baby spinach to the skillet, cooking for 3–4 minutes until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
  4. Stir in heavy cream, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Spread raw shrimp evenly in the greased baking dish and season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Pour the creamy sauce over the shrimp, gently tossing to coat each piece evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque, and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
  9. Let cool for a couple of minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
