Ingredients

  

  • 1.5 lbs shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups jarred roasted red peppers roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp Italian herbs
  • 2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 box pasta traditionally fettuccine or linguini

Instructions

 

  • Cook pasta according to instructions and set aside.
  • In a seasoned cast iron pan on medium heat, sear the shrimp with salt/pepper and some oil until they turn pink. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, saute the sliced onions until they start to turn golden. Add the minced garlic and saute for another 2 minutes.
  • At this point, add the roasted red peppers, Italian herbs, red pepper flakes, and chicken stock. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for a few minutes.
  • Then add the spinach, heavy cream, and the sauteed shrimp. Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring constantly, until the spinach has wilted.
  • Finally, stir in the cooked pasta, top with Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.

Notes

Note that the traditional version uses sun-dried tomatoes rather than roasted red peppers (but we used what we had in the pantry!).
