Shrimp Tomato Spinach Pasta
What I really like about this dish is that it is a whole meal that does not need any sides; it has veggies, carbs and protein in it. The recipe also, is super easy; it is under 30 minutes, which makes it perfect for weeknight dinners.
I love cooking with fresh ingredients; so, I used fresh tomatoes, garlic, spinach and shrimp.
Fresh spinach really works best in this recipe compared with frozen one. I actually tested the recipe with both, and there is a huge difference in taste.
I also added 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, which was AMAZING, it gave the dish a spicy kick! However, you may reduce this amount or skip it if you don't like any heat in your dish.

Recipe FAQs
Of course, you can, frozen or fresh you will get the same result. Just make sure to defrost the shrimps before using it in this recipe.
I don't recommend freezing cooked pasta at all; it loses its taste and flavours when you freeze it. You can keep the leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days in an airtight container.
