This one-pan shrimp dinner is the kind of weeknight meal that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Juicy, golden-edged shrimp get tossed with sweet burst cherry tomatoes, wilted baby spinach, and a punchy hit of sliced garlic that perfumes the whole kitchen while it cooks. A pinch of turmeric and red pepper flakes add warmth and a subtle depth that makes every bite feel a little more interesting than your average skillet dinner. The bright squeeze of lemon at the end ties everything together and keeps the dish feeling fresh and light. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, this recipe is naturally built from whole, straightforward ingredients — shrimp, olive oil, fresh produce, and pantry spices — so there's nothing to second-guess or swap out. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side, it's the kind of dish you'll want to make on repeat.

Ingredients

4 servings

1 ½ lb large shrimp (21–25 count), peeled and deveined, tails on or off
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 pint (10 oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups baby spinach, loosely packed
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp ground turmeric

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then toss in a bowl with 1 tbsp of the olive oil, the salt, black pepper, and turmeric until evenly coated.
2
Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the undersides are pink and opaque. Flip with tongs and cook for 1 minute more, until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout with no translucent gray at the center. Transfer to a plate.
