Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve some pasta water.

Sauté the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet, add shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until shrimp is pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes each side. Remove and set aside.

Make the Sauce Base: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in heavy cream and Italian seasoning, bringing to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in Cheese and Vegetables: Mix in Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach until cheese melts and spinach wilts.

Combine Shrimp and Pasta: Return shrimp to the skillet, mix with the sauce, and heat for 1-2 minutes, adding reserved pasta water if needed.

Toss with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine with the creamy sauce.

Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with parsley and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
