Tips for Making the Best Tuscan Shrimp

Fresh shrimp is best for this recipe, but frozen shrimp will work in a pinch.

Leave the shrimp tails on or remove them, depending on what you prefer.

The best white wine for making Tuscan shrimp is a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Verdicchio, or an unoaked Chardonnay.

If you don't want to use white wine, substitute vegetable or chicken broth.

To thicken the sauce, whisk one teaspoon of cornstarch with one teaspoon of water, then stir it into the sauce.

Sub the spinach for kale or try a mixture of half spinach, half kale.

How to Serve Tuscan Shrimp

For sides, you can't go wrong with crusty garlic bread, a salad (green salads, kale salads, and Caesar salads are always fabulous), or roasted veggies.
