Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the shrimp and minced garlic until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
In a small bowl, whisk together the skim milk and flour until smooth, then pour the mixture into the skillet with the shrimp.
Simmer the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until it begins to thicken, then stir in the dried oregano, basil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Add the fresh baby spinach and grated parmesan to the skillet, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is melted.
Drain the pasta and toss it into the skillet, coating every noodle in the velvety sauce before garnishing with fresh parsley.
