Shrimp & spinach are 2 of my faves as well & DH (who is not esp fond of spinach) loved this dish. I made a full recipe using precooked Icelandic baby shrimp + McCormick Lemon & Pepper Seas Salt. There is just something (for me at least) about spinach & shrimp (together or separate) that begs for garlic, so I added it & found the combo of the lemon & garlic flavors to be very palate-pleasing. I served it over rice w/a cucumber salad. This is a yummy dish, comes together in a flash (big bonus in my book) & I look forward to leftovers. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)

Indeed outstanding! This is one of the best and easiest dishes I have tried from RecipeZaar. I halved the recipe and followed it faithfully. Served with just some buttered pasta. A wonderful supper.
