Ingredients

  • 12 oz peeled/deveined shrimp, tails removed (thaw if needed)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1 oz Deli Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon pepper, divided
  • ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (or stock)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 oz baby spinach leaves

Prep

    • Bring water to boil for pasta.
    • Slice garlic. Chop peppers.
    • Grate cheese (⅓ cup).

Steps

    1. Thaw shrimp, if needed. Bring water to boil for pasta. Slice garlic thinly, chop peppers, and grate Parmesan finely (⅓ cup). Cook and drain pasta following package instructions.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium 1–2 minutes. Place oil and garlic in pan; cook 3–4 minutes until garlic edges begin to turn golden. Add peppers, shrimp, pepper flakes, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper; cook and stir 1 minute.
    3. Add broth; cook 2–3 minutes until liquid is reduced by about one-half and shrimp have just turned pink and opaque. Reduce heat to low; stir in butter, spinach, cheese, pasta, and remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss until butter and cheese melt and spinach wilts. Serve.
