Lemon Herb Butter Sauce

Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt.

  2. 2

    Cook Spaghetti

    Add spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preparing Shrimp and Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Cook Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the julienne red onions and red bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and diced tomato, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

    Add Spinach

    Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix everything together.

Making the Lemon Herb Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
