Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Tortellini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, sauté for about 2 minutes each side until cooked. Remove from skillet.
- Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Deglaze the Skillet: Pour in chicken broth or white wine to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: Lower heat, stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the Spinach: Toss in fresh spinach, cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Combine and Serve: Return shrimp and tuscan tortellini to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce. Garnish with extra parmesan or parsley, serve immediately.

Notes
Thaw shrimp properly and choose quality tortellini for best results. Control heat to avoid curdling the sauce and garnish for presentation.
