Sautéed Shrimp With Spinach and Tomatoes
My cherry tomato plants are still kickin’! So of course, we’re continuing to look for new ways to use them! :-)
One of my favorite tomato recipes I’ve tried lately was actually from Martha. My mom recently gave me a stash of her Martha Stewart “Everyday” magazines from the past few months, and (not sure why I was surprised) I’ve totally been enjoying them!! So far the five or so recipes I’ve tried from them have all been a success, and nearly all of them have only used a handful of ingredents. You know how I roll — love it! :)
Anyway, this one was supposed to be for shrimp, tomatoes and arugula. But I only had spinach in the casa, so substituted it in and the result was still a fresh and wonderfully flavorful summer dish! I also threw in some smoked paprika (because I apparently can never resist), but I’m sure it’d be fine without it too.
Definitely a fresh, light, and delicious 15-minute meal. Enjoy!!
A fresh, light, and delicious 15-minute meal… you will LOVE this Sauteed Shrimp With Spinach & Tomatoes recipe! In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they blister, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and smoked paprika and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook, stirring often, until almost opaque throughout, about 4 minutes. Add spinach (or arugula), season with salt and pepper, and toss until wilted, 1 minute. Add lemon juice and toss to combine. Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart. If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!

That pic looks sooo good!
I’ve used cherry tomatoes with fresh corn in a roasted salad. It’s delicious.
This looks like a delightful dish! Unfortunately, my hubby won’t eat shrimp, so I don’t get to make it very often. Next time he is out of town, I’ll have to make this for myself!
I had a handful of shrimp leftover tonight so I think this in on for tomorrow night, but I’m gonna trick my family and use MORE spinach LOL
I’ve made something like this before, except I used broccoli instead. Tomatoes and shrimp are some of my favourite foods!!
This is delicious!! I am big on flavorful food and I will admit that I was not expecting this to be flavorful! I didnt use the paprika because I didnt have any but I used everything else.
Thanks for this great meal… I did it tonight and my husband loved it… I wish i would have add more spinach but next time. I will try this with scallops!!!!
You’re very welcome Tatiana, we’re happy you and your husband enjoyed this! :D
Looks Tempting. I must try this one.
We hope you enjoy it, Larry!
Just finished with this wonderful recipe. Sun gold cherry tomatoes from the garden. I cut them in half,dusted with smoked paprika and sautéed with garlic and salt and pepper. Added the shrimp and cooked for 4 min. Then added a large handful of baby spinach. I would have used2 next time. Added a knob of butter to the olive oil. Finished with lemon juice and fresh basil. Wow, the tomatoes created a golden tomato sauce which bathed the glistening shrimp. This would be a perfect Valentine dinner if you both love savory shrimp!
My third time making it
Loved it and so easy to make
Great weekday dinner
I like to use fresh shrimp and baby spinach
A salad and the meal it’s complete
For guests I add broccoli and cavitelli
So good and so easy!! Definitely saving this to make again!
This is delicious! I made it with frozen shrimp and bottled lemon juice because I had them on hand. I also used Pam cooking spray to help reduce the calories. It was amazing, and it took me less than 20 min to make it! I can easily stay on a lower calorie diet with recipes like this one.
