Food Hussy Recipe: Shrimp Linguine with Spinach & Ricotta

I’m a big fan of Cooking Light – it’s a great resource for healthy eating and they always have lots of recipes that I can make in 20 minutes or less! That is essential after a long day at work and coming home to two dogs that want to play play play – I don’t have time to slave over the stove for 2 hours…I need fast! 
I found this recipe for Shrimp Linguine with Spinach & Ricotta (and fennel, but I hate fennel) and added it to the menu plan for the week. 

I got really adventurous this time around and used the shrimp that were “raw” rather than the cooked. I have no idea why I’d never tried these before – I think the ones that are pre-cooked are just more readily available and stocked in the freezer dept. I did though get ones that were peeled and deveined – I’m not going to all that work. I have to say after using these – I won’t buy the others ever again (except for Larry’s shrimp cocktail addiction). 

The recipe was easy enough – just saute the shrimp and shallots, then add garlic. These raw shrimp cooked up really nicely and got that pinkish hue (Seinfeld callback – anyone?) that makes them look as delicious as they taste!

Then I added a container of spinach – I forgot to take the before pic – I am always amazed how a HUGE container of spinach evaporates in just a couple of minutes into nothing! If you haven’t cooked with raw spinach – try it – it’s really fun!

After this you mix in lemon rind, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Then stir in a little pasta water and parmesan (cook your pasta while all of this is going). I added the ricotta into the mix (the recipe calls for a dollop on top of each serving).

And the finished product! This was delicious and I will definitely make this one again and again! Healthy – creamy – cheesy – and shrimp – LOVE IT!
