Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 6: Lay the shrimp on top of the spinach in a single, even layer.
Step 7: Pour the creamy cheese mixture over the shrimp and spinach, making sure everything is coated.

Step 9: Let it cool slightly before serving, then finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
