In a bowl, season your scampi with garlic powder, Old Bay, onion powder, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss everything together.

Cook the scampi for about 3 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through. Remove the cooked scampi from the pan and put them back into the bowl.
Step 4
In the same pan, add butter and sauté minced onion and garlic for about 3 minutes. Then add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for a few minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Then add the heavy cream and simmer for about 3-5 minutes over low-medium heat.
Step 6
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it's completely melted. Then add the Italian seasoning, paprika, cayenne, red pepper flakes, and salt & black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Add the fresh spinach and cooked scampi back to the pan. Continue to simmer over low-medium heat until the spinach wilts down.
Step 8
Adjust the seasoning to taste. Then add the cooked pasta (your favorite) to the sauce and incorporate well.

It's ready! Serve the creamy scampi and spinach pasta dish as desired and say "Bon appétit"!
