Since you'll be using this water to cook the spaghetti noodles, it's important to salt the water generously. I've heard it said that the pasta water should taste like the sea, so I use a few good pinches of salt and it always works well. When your pasta water has boiled, add the spaghetti and boil it according to the package directions until it's done to your liking (we like ours al dente). While the pasta cooks, set a large skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and butter and once it heats up add the chopped garlic. Saute the garlic for about a minute and then add the shrimp, along with the chili flakes and the paprika. Once the shrimp begins to turn pink, move it around in the pan with the garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika and pepper for another minute or two. Add the wine to the pan and stir the shrimp in it briefly before turning the heat to low and covering the pan. Let the shrimp simmer in the wine for about 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp is completely pink and cooked through (check it every minute or two to be sure the shrimp doesn't over-cook). Once the shrimp is done, turn off the heat and add the whole milk (or whatever cream-base you're using) and stir briefly before letting the shrimp rest in the sauce for several minutes. By this time, your spaghetti should be done. Drain it (don't rinse it!!) and add it to the pan with the shrimp and sauce, along with the spinach and the cherry tomatoes. Toss everything together well until the spaghetti is coated in the sauce and the tomatoes, spinach and shrimp are dispersed throughout. Cover the pan and let it sit off the heat for 2-3 minutes to give the spinach a chance to wilt slightly. Right before you serve, garnish with some chopped fresh parsley and you've got a fresh and healthy restaurant-worthy meal! 🥣 KITCHEN TOOLS USED IN THIS RECIPE: 💎ALL-TIME FAVOURITES: Instant Pot Duo 6QT: https://amzn.to/3rHNlG8 KItchen Aid Hand Mixer: https://amzn.to/3oKW34p Le Creuset Dutch Oven Pot: https://amzn.to/3rMrMnY Cast Iron Skillet: https://amzn.to/3rIUOEI Baking Sheet Pan: https://amzn.to/3uGND1X Springform Cake Tin: https://amzn.to/3rMtg1w Cutting Board Set: https://amzn.to/3sDWmzh Mixing Bowl Set: https://amzn.to/3LG4rwb Balloon Whisk: https://amzn.to/3rJU2r3 Spatula Set: https://amzn.to/3oIyTvJ Garlic Press: https://amzn.to/3rMt6XY Instant Read Thermometer: https://amzn.to/3BeC1Vb OUR FAVOURITE KITCHEN ITEMS & PROPS: ♥️ Kitchen towels: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ForestlandL... https://www.etsy.com/shop/MagicLinen https://greengatehome.com/ ♥️ Backdrops: https://www.etsy.com/shop/InkAndElm ♥️ Dishes & Ceramics: https://blop.ro https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnnaBelleCe... ♥️ Cookware and props: https://www.riess-markenshop.de/en https://www.falconenamelware.com/ https://lecreuset.com https://www.denbypottery.com/cast-iron https://amzn.to/3uLkPp4 ♥️ Shop my Amazon Store (with ALL my favourite kitchen products!) https://www.amazon.com/shop/thebusyba... 📷 OUR PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY GEAR: Canon 90D: https://amzn.to/3HfcU6G Canon 6D Mark II: https://amzn.to/3uidzR1 50mm Lens: https://amzn.to/3GiwAVW Photography lens: https://amzn.to/3uiDQis Video/Photography lens: https://amzn.to/3Hj10sl Tripod: https://amzn.to/3419mXy Light stand: https://amzn.to/3ocDaab Video/photography light: https://amzn.to/3gcxvwy Softbox: https://amzn.to/3AOJ0nj *The Busy Baker is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.*
