Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente (typically 2–4 minutes for angel hair). Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter. When the butter melts and begins to foam, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30–45 seconds until fragrant — don’t let it brown.
Cooking
- Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, depending on size, until they curl and turn pink. Remove any shrimp that finish early so they don’t overcook.
- Stir in the fresh spinach and pour in the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cook just until the spinach wilts, about 30–60 seconds.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if you need to loosen the sauce. Adjust seasoning.
- Plate immediately and sprinkle with grated Parmesan before serving.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; shrimp and pasta textures degrade after that. Not recommended for freezing. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking shrimp.
