Ingredients
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 8 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 pound Shrimp uncooked, shelled and deveined
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 5 cups baby spinach
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup parsley fresh, minced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking the pasta, heat 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the shrimp, garlic, red pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the shrimp, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes or until pink on the outside.
- Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and melt over low heat.
- Use tongs to remove the cooked spaghetti from the pot of water, allowing most of the water to drip off the spaghetti, and place spaghetti in the skillet.
- Add the spinach and Parmesan to the spaghetti and toss to coat, continuing to cook over low heat stirring constantly, until the spinach has wilted.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle with parsley before serving. Serve with additional Parmesan, if desired.
Notes
- Use any size shrimp you prefer in this recipe. We prefer small shrimp.
