Sautéed Shrimp With Spinach and Tomatoes

My cherry tomato plants are still kickin’! So of course, we’re continuing to look for new ways to use them! :-)

One of my favorite tomato recipes I’ve tried lately was actually from Martha. My mom recently gave me a stash of her Martha Stewart “Everyday” magazines from the past few months, and (not sure why I was surprised) I’ve totally been enjoying them!! So far the five or so recipes I’ve tried from them have all been a success, and nearly all of them have only used a handful of ingredents. You know how I roll — love it! :)

Anyway, this one was supposed to be for shrimp, tomatoes and arugula. But I only had spinach in the casa, so substituted it in and the result was still a fresh and wonderfully flavorful summer dish! I also threw in some smoked paprika (because I apparently can never resist), but I’m sure it’d be fine without it too.

Definitely a fresh, light, and delicious 15-minute meal. Enjoy!!

Ali’s Tip:

 

If you’re in a hurry, feel free to use pre-cooked shrimp. Just add them about a minute before adding the spinach, and saute until warmed.
