Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti Choose your favorite pasta shape if you prefer.
  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40/pound size) Thawed, peeled, and tails removed if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Adds healthy fats and flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons butter For a rich and creamy texture.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Infuses the dish with aromatic flavor.

  • ¼ cup chicken broth Enhances the overall flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning A blend of herbs that complements the dish.
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach, packed Provides nutrients and color.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.

Method
 

  1. Cook the Spaghetti: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Add in the spaghetti and cook it al dente according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside while you prepare the sauce.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a skillet over medium-high heat, combine olive oil and butter until melted and bubbly. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Cook Tomatoes: Stir in halved grape tomatoes along with chicken broth and Italian seasoning into the skillet. Allow them to cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become soft and start releasing their juices.
  4. Add Shrimp and Spinach: Add the thawed shrimp into the skillet followed by the packed baby spinach. Lower heat to medium and cook for another 5 minutes or until shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked through.
  5. Combine Everything Together: Season your mixture with salt and pepper according to taste preferences before tossing it all together with your reserved spaghetti in the skillet.
  6. Serve Immediately: Plate your sumptuous tomato spinach shrimp pasta while it's still warm, garnishing with extra Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
