🔪 Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the shrimp and spinach and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the shrimp is just cooked through.
Remove the shrimp mixture from the heat and add the drained cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing until well combined.

🥄 Equipment

Tongs

Raw thawed peeled and deveined shrimp with tails removed.

📖 Variations

Stir in ¼ cup of heavy cream for a creamy sauce.
Substitute white wine for the chicken broth.
Add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika to give the dish a delicious smoky flavor.

💭 Tips

Leaving the tails on the shrimp might look nice, but since they are inedible, I would remove them. Rather use the tails and shells to make your own homemade shrimp stock.
