Shrimp Florentine Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.

   Caramelize the Onions

   In the same skillet, add the sliced onions to the bacon fat and cook over medium-low heat until the onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

   Sauté Shrimp and Spinach

   Add the minced garlic and shrimp to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.

   Make the Cream Sauce

   Stir in the heavy cream, cherry tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

   Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine. Stir in the crispy bacon and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
