Ingredients
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 pound cooked and deveined frozen shrimp, thawed per package directions
- 1-1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (use less for mild)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Directions
- 1. Drop your pasta in a pot of boiling water and cook to al dente (about 5 minutes). Meanwhile, in a big skillet over medium-high heat, sauté your chopped onion and bell pepper in a drizzle of olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes. Next, add in your shrimp and red pepper flakes and cook about a minute. Pour in your chicken stock and deglaze the pan (scrape the little bits off the bottom). Reduce heat to low.
- Drain pasta and add to skillet. Stir to incorporate pasta with the other ingredients. Stir in fresh spinach and let it wilt down about a minute.
So fast, right? The angel hair pasta cooks up in minutes and the shrimp is already cooked, so all you’re doing is heating it through.
