Description:
"Shrimp and Penne"

Serves 6

Serving Ideas : This is a good one dish meal to make and a super special supper.

NOTES : Instead of using Raw Shrimp I like to use the cooked Shrimp from the Store, and I prefer to let them thaw out and then remove the tails because I think it's beter not to have the tail shell on the shrimp when it is on the plate. When the Shrimp is thawed you can just pull off the tail shell.

Another hint is to prepare the pasta a little later in the recipe and wilt the Spinach seperately and combine them all at the end. That way you have less of a chance for the pasta to get sticky, and I would spray the pasta with a little olive oil.
