Ingredients​

  • 1 lb shrimp , fresh, uncooked, shelled and deveined
  • 5 tomatoes , medium size, fresh, chopped into large cubes
  • 1 cup spinach cooked
  • 5 garlic cloves , minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper or more
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 10 oz fettuccine pasta
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated, for serving

Instructions​

  • Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil, until melted.
  • Add fresh shrimp and half the minced garlic. Make sure the shrimp is not crowded. Cook for 1 minute on one side until pink on that side.
  • While the shrimp is cooking, generously sprinkle paprika and salt over uncooked side of the shrimp.
  • Flip the shrimp over and cook for another 1 or 2 minutes until pink on the other side.
  • To the skillet with shrimp, add chopped fresh tomatoes, cooked spinach, and the remaining amount of minced garlic. Add ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (or more). Mix everything well, remove from heat while you cook pasta.
  • In the meantime cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent pasta from cooking and getting mushy.
  • Add cooked pasta to the skillet with shrimp and vegetables with 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Add freshly squeezed lemon juice. Depending on the juiciness of your lemon, it could be ¼ of a small lemon or ½ lemon. Don't add too much lemon juice.
  • Season with salt and more crushed red pepper. Warm up on medium heat until the shrimp is cooked through, and all ingredients are heated through.
  • To serve, top with grated Parmesan cheese.
That looks really good
