Lemon Linguine with Shrimp and Spinach
Lemony shrimp and fresh spinach create a lovely pasta dish. Great for company or for everyday meals.
Ingredients
- 12 oz linguine, uncooked
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 scallions, green parts included, chopped
- 1 lb shrimp, uncooked, shells and tails removed
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 tsp lemon zest, grated
- 1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
- 2 Tbs tomato paste
- 1 lb fresh spinach
Directions
- Cook pasta in rapidly boiling water until done. Drain.
- Wash spinach thoroughly and remove stems. Chop into 2-inch (5cm) pieces or, if the leaves are fairly small, leave them whole.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch (30cm) skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add shrimp and scallions. Stir fry for 3 minutes, until the shrimp are pink.
- Add lemon juice, wine, lemon zest, tabasco sauce and tomato paste. Stir to combine all the ingredients. Add spinach leaves.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes more, just until the spinach leaves wilt and a sauce develops from the cooking spinach and the shrimp.
- Transfer pasta into the skillet and toss to combine.
