Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
  • 1 pound uncooked (31-40/pound size) shrimp (thawed & peeled, can remove tails)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 10 ounces grape tomatoes (cut into halves)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta. Cook it al dente according to package directions.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic once the pan is hot, and cook it for about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning.

  4. 4

    Cook the tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until they start to lose their shape (about 5 minutes).

  5. 5

    Add the shrimp to the pan, followed by the spinach. Reduce the heat to medium. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring it/turning the shrimp until they're cooked through and the spinach has wilted.

  6. 6

    Season with salt & pepper as needed. Toss with the drained spaghetti. If you want a little more liquid in the sauce, add a bit of the hot pasta water.
