Ingredients

Scale

Spaghetti:

Shrimp:

  • 1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40/pound size), thawed, peeled, and tails removed if desired

Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Additional:

  • 2 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Spaghetti: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Cook Tomatoes: Stir in the halved grape tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
