Garlicky Shrimp & Spinach

By mamacasma

Toasted bread adds a crunchy contrast to this take on spicy scampi—and keeps the dish under 300 calories per serving. If you prefer a more robust meal, use angel-hair or cappellini pasta instead.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 red chile (seeded for less heat, if desired), thinly sliced
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1 lb. raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed (4 cups)
• 4 thick slices country bread, toasted

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, chile, and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 2 minutes.

2. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp, add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.

3. Add the spinach and cook, tossing, until beginning to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve over the bread.

Serving Tip: This spicy combination is equally delicious over pasta. Try angel hair or capellini, both of which cook more quickly than spaghetti.
