Shrimp with Roasted Peppers and Spinach

 Garlicky shrimp, buschetta topping, and spinach 

tossed with pasta is delicious and ready in 

the time it takes to boil the pasta.

This recipe uses ingredients I usually have on 

hand for that 'what's for dinner tonight?' 

moment. Especially if you don't want to go out.

I always keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer

 for quick dinners like this one. 

Extra fast when you use a jar of bruschetta topping.

 Mince the garlic and saute in oil for 2 minutes. 

Measure out the remaining ingredients 

so that you can quickly add as needed:

a cup with all the seasonings, 1/2C bruschetta,

 1/2C broth, 1/2C cheese, 3T butter.

 Add the shrimp, peppers, salt, pepper, red pepper 

flakes and saute for 1 minute, then stir in the broth

 and cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are 

just turning opaque. Don't overcook at this point.

 Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese, then

 Stir in the spinach, pasta and butter.

Toss until the spinach wilts and the 

butter and cheese melt.

A delicious dinner in under 20 minutes.
