I was asked to cook a sweet pasta, you know the usual pasta that Pinoys love. I don’t feel like having a sweet pasta that day so I set aside a handful of noodles for this.
Shrimp and Spinach Pasta
prepare the shrimp: remove heads and peel off shells, carefully make an incision to remove the black thread like spine. set aside.
prepare pasta: cook pasta as directed in the package but make the water as salty as seawater.
you will need:
olive oil
pepper or chili flakes
spinach (1 cup per person, approx.)
butterflied shrimp
minced garlic
Heat olive oil in a shallow saucepan. Saute garlic until aromatic but not burnt. Toss the shrimp and spinach together until cooked. Add in the pasta and season with pepper or chili flakes as desired. In case you forget, do not add salt as the pasta is already salty.
Serve and eat immediately.
