Steps:

• In a large pot, boil water and add pasta. Cook (stirring frequently) until al dente.

• Toss in shrimp, salt and pepper to taste, and stir until shrimp start to turn pink, but are not fully cooked.
• Add oregano and spinach, cook until wilted.
• Return cooked pasta to the pot, add remaining butter, parmesan, and parsley. Stir until well mixed and the butter is melted.
• When the shrimp are cooked, add lemon juice, mix once more, then serve while hot.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• On a plate, toss the shrimp with the crushed red pepper, half the lemon zest, chopped herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it sit while you start the rest. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the garlic and bloom 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes along the remaining lemon zest. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and saute for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp in a single layer and sear on one side for 2 minutes. Flip and sear another minute, or until shrimp is cooked through. Keep tossing the tomatoes just a little bit. In the meantime, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair until al dente, maybe 5 minutes. Drain all but about 1/2 cup of the pasta water and toss with the shrimp and tomato mixture, along with the spinach. Squeeze a lot of lemon juice right in. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Add as much pasta water as you want to create a thin, glorious sauce. Serve it with more lemon juice, crusty bread and for heaven's sake, fresh parmesan cheese. *out of control
