One-Pot Garlicky Shrimp & Spinach
This shrimp and spinach recipe cooks quickly for a simple one-pot weeknight dinner. A fast pan sauce gets life from lemon juice, crushed red pepper and parsley.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 6 medium cloves garlic, sliced, divided
- 1 pound spinach
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus ⅛ teaspoon, divided
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pound shrimp (21-30 count), peeled and deveined
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1½ teaspoons lemon zest
Directions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add half the garlic and cook until beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 pound of spinach and ¼ teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Cook, stirring once or twice, until mostly wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
- Increase heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pot. Add the remaining garlic and cook until beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 pound shrimp, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Serve the shrimp over the spinach, sprinkled with 1 tablespoon parsley and 1½ teaspoons lemon zest.
