Instructions
Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat for about 1 minute.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable or chicken broth, dried basil, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the raw shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and pink.
Gently fold in the baby spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts.
Season the stew with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with cooked rice or crusty bread for a complete meal.
