Shrimp Scampi Florentine
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 large plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons prepared basil pesto (such as Classico ™)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, rinsed and stemmed
Instructions
1
Combine the softened butter and olive oil in a substantial cooking vessel over medium heat. Introduce the tomatoes, pesto, and garlic into the mixture; allow them to cook gently until they begin to lose their firmness, approximately 2 minutes. Enhance the flavor with a pinch of fiery red pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper.

Introduce the shrimp into the sauce; cook them briefly until they change color to a pink hue, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes. Add the spinach leaves; stir until they have lost their crisp texture and are wilted, roughly 1 minute.
