Weight Watcher's Garlic Shrimp

This garlic shrimp pasta is one of my favorite light meals. The combo of tangy sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach in a garlicky sauce is so delicious, and the best part is that it only takes 25 minutes to throw together. It's fresh, filling, and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
