Ingredients

1 hour
  1. 6 cloveFresh Garlic
  2. 1 pintsHalved Cherry Tomatoes
  3. 1 lbRaw Shrimp
  4. 1/2 lbCooked Spaghetti Noodles
  5. 1/4 cupOlive Oil

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    In a large skillet, turn your flame on its lowest setting. Add olive oil, butter, red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon juice. Cook for 12mins or until garlic is golden brown. **this first step is essential in making your scampi because you need to give the garlic time to infuse into the oil**

  2. 2

    Add in your halved cherry tomatoes

  3. 3

    Chop your large portobello mushrooms and cook them on very high heat in a separate pan *if you cook them in the same pan as your scampi sauce the mushrooms will soak up the entire sauce*

  4. 4

    Let cherry tomatoes cook in the scampi mixture for about 5-7mins. Then began to smash some of the tomatoes with a fork, in order to release all of its juices

    Taste a shrimp with the scampi sauce. Add salt/pepper to taste

  7. 7

    Right before you put the hot pasta into the scampi sauce, add in the mushrooms & as much fresh spinach as you desire. **the hot pasta will wilt the spinach, no need to cook**

  8. 8

    Toss your pasta with the veggies and scampi sauce & then serve hot
