I have been a bit delayed in posting this and honestly I looked at the picture and I am considering making it again for dinner... putting the ingredients on my grocery list right now.

Ingredients (2 servings):
1/2 pound extra large
shrimp, thawed, peeled and deveined
2 tsp lemon zest, divided
1 pinch crushed red pepper
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 sprig fresh oregano, leaves removed and chopped
2 basil leaves, torn
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cups baby spinach
2 Tbs. lemon juice (or more!)
1/2 pound angel hair pasta
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tsp lemon zest, divided
1 pinch crushed red pepper
1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 sprig fresh oregano, leaves removed and chopped
2 basil leaves, torn
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cups baby spinach
2 Tbs. lemon juice (or more!)
1/2 pound angel hair pasta
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
1. On a plate, toss the
shrimp with the crushed red pepper, half the lemon zest, chopped herbs and a
pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sit while you start the rest.
2. Heat the oil in a medium
skillet over medium-high. Add the garlic and bloom 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes
along the remaining lemon zest. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and
sauté for 2 minutes.
3. Add the shrimp in a
single layer and sear on one side for 2 minutes. Flip and sear another minute,
or until shrimp is cooked through. Keep tossing the tomatoes just a little bit.
4. In the meantime, bring a
large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair until al dente,
maybe 5 minutes. Drain all but about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and toss with
the shrimp and tomato mixture, along with the spinach. Squeeze a lot of lemon
juice right in. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Add as much pasta water as
you want to create a thin, glorious sauce.
