MEDITERRANEAN FETTUCCINE WITH SHRIMP AND SPINACH
I got this off the back of some store-brand fettucine noodles and gave it a try. Dh said to make sure I kept the recipe! It is very rich and I usually decrease the salt and dried basil to help that a bit, and I thinned it down just a bit with milk, but otherwise it's a fancy-looking dish with very little effort.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If frozen shrimp is all you have, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and chewy.
- Use high-quality feta cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
- Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- Add the spinach to the pasta at the very end of cooking. This will prevent it from overcooking.
- Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
This Mediterranean fettuccine with shrimp and spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked to perfection and the spinach adds a pop of color and flavor. The feta cheese and lemon juice add a finishing touch that makes this dish irresistible.
