Seared Shrimp Pasta with Spinach and Cherry Tomatoes
Pan-seared jerk shrimp tossed with whole wheat pasta and wilted spinach, finished with bursting cherry tomatoes and a side of fresh mango.
INGREDIENTS
4.2 ounces Raw Shrimp
2 ounces Dry Whole Wheat Pasta
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups Baby Spinach
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
0.5 cup Fresh Mango slices
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
0.5 teaspoon Jerk Seasoning
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry and toss them in a small bowl with the jerk seasoning until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred, then remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to blister and soften.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water, and add the pasta and seared shrimp back into the skillet.
Toss everything together with the lime juice and a splash of pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
Serve the pasta warm with the fresh mango slices on the side for a sweet Caribbean finish.
