Shrimp W Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Submitted by racrgal

"This has become a favorite for a quick, easy and elegant meal. You can use any style pasta you prefer. The smaller the shrimp the less the cooking time will be. Keep that in mind when adding spinach as the shrimp will continue to cook as the spinach steams. If I have small shrimp I add the shrimp and spinach at the same time so the shrimp doesn't overcook."

This was really good. Followed recipe pretty close except used thawed, frozen spinach. Love the sun dried tomatoes, they add alot of flavor.

Great recipe! I need to go grocery shopping, so I only had frozen spinach... WOW! So yummy! My husband commented that "This is the first time I have EVER enjoyed spinach!" Thanks for sharing!!!!

Very good and easy to make! We used whole wheat rotini, which worked out well. I used medium shrimp, but I think small shrimp may be better in this dish. thanks for sharing!

I made this for dinner tonight using fresh baby spinach. Made as written, we all thought it was okay and gave it 3 stars. Except for my daughter, who didn't like it at all. Used a garlic pepper grinder to give it a little more flavor and topped with more fresh shredded Parmesan and upped the stars to 4.
