Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a medium baking dish by lightly greasing it.
  2. Sauté the minced garlic in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach to the skillet; cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Mix in the heavy cream, cream cheese, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, and optional red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, seasoning them with salt and black pepper.
  6. Pour the creamy sauce over the shrimp and gently toss to ensure they are evenly coated.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Then, bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving to add a delightful touch of color and flavor.
