Instructions

Step 1

Boil water and add salt. Cook penne for 2 minutes less than the box instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain.

Step 2

Season shrimp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oil, and cornstarch. Mix together. In a pan, heat up oil and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side. Don’t overcook. Cooking time is less is your shrimp is smaller. Remove from pan.

Step 3

Using the same pan, add oil and butter. Add garlic, onion and bell pepper. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add heavy cream, spinach, pasta water, parmesan cheese and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add penne pasta and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add shrimp back to pan and top with crushed red pepper.
