Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes until shimmering.
- Add peeled and deveined shrimp, red pepper flakes, paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes until shrimp is pink and opaque, then remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped tomatoes, spinach, and minced garlic over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook according to package instructions (10-12 minutes). Reserve a little pasta water, then drain.
- Reduce skillet heat to low, add drained pasta to the sautéed vegetables, and toss gently to combine.
- Return cooked shrimp to the skillet, mixing everything until combined. If dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water and heat through for 2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or olive oil. Let rest for a minute before serving.

Notes
For optimal flavor, consume fresh. This dish can also be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and frozen for 2 months, but shrimp texture may change upon thawing.
