Tips:

  • Cook the shrimp perfectly: Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery. To prevent this, cook the shrimp for only 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are opaque and pink.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, peas, and shrimp will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly before using.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This spinach penne with peas and shrimp in a cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp. The combination of spinach, peas, and shrimp in a creamy sauce is flavorful and satisfying. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
