Spinach shrimp fettuccine hits a bull&#8217;s-eye on every throw. Pasta, garlic, shrimp, seasonings and cheese are valuable ingredients for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/delicious-dinners-in-10-minutes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/delicious-dinners-in-10-minutes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quick dinners<\/a> like this one. Pick up some fresh baby spinach and plum tomatoes (or substitute something that&#8217;s already in your fridge) and you&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of this shrimp and spinach pasta recipe is that once you have your ingredients, you don&#8217;t need to cook them down for a long time or make a separate sauce. A brief saute keeps the spinach and tomatoes light and refreshing, while the delicate shrimp stays tender and flavorful. If you love the combination of greens and shellfish, continue in the same vein with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/shrimp-n-spinach-risotto\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/shrimp-n-spinach-risotto\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shrimp and spinach risotto<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spinach-shrimp-and-ricotta-tacos\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/spinach-shrimp-and-ricotta-tacos\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spinach, shrimp and ricotta tacos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Spinach Shrimp Fettuccine<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fettuccine:<\/strong> Cook these long, flat noodles in salted boiling water. Avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/pasta-mistakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/pasta-mistakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pasta mistakes<\/a> and save the olive oil for the skillet, where it makes the garlic and shrimp sizzle and later coats the cooked and drained pasta.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baby spinach:<\/strong> Packaged baby spinach speeds up the prep because you don&#8217;t need to separate and chop the leaves. However, we do recommend that you wash the baby spinach, even if the container or bag says &#8220;pre-washed.&#8221; The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-gross-truth-about-pre-washed-lettuce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-gross-truth-about-pre-washed-lettuce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gross truth about pre-washed lettuce<\/a> and other greens is that their commercial bath contains chemicals that can linger on the leaves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic cloves:<\/strong> Mince four (yes, four!) cloves of garlic so that their flavor spreads broadly. In this shrimp and spinach fettuccine recipe, we prefer the taste of fresh garlic smashed and cut with a knife rather than canned garlic. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mince garlic<\/a> another way, such as with a garlic press, expect it to impart a fiery bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uncooked shrimp:<\/strong> Save your frozen precooked shrimp for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/shrimp-tostadas-with-lime-cilantro-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/shrimp-tostadas-with-lime-cilantro-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shrimp tostadas<\/a>, and instead thaw a bag of medium-sized raw shrimp (31-40 per pound) for this pasta recipe. Precooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery and won&#8217;t pick up the garlic flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plum tomatoes:<\/strong> This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-tomato\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-tomato\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of tomato<\/a>, also known as a Roma tomato, has a meatier texture and lower moisture content than big, slicing tomatoes. When cooked briefly, plum tomatoes hold their shape well and distribute just a little juice into the sauce without breaking down completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian seasoning:<\/strong> Open a jar of Italian seasoning or make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italian seasoning<\/a> blend to add several herbs and spices in one spoonful. Some commercial brands have salt mixed in, so check the label before you add more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> Sprinkle the cheese while the pasta is still in the skillet; it melts slightly with the residual heat. Set a bowl with shredded cheese on the table if you want to add more as a garnish.

Wash the spinach well to ensure you remove any dirt, cut off and discard the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces or ribbons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it creamy:<\/strong> For a saucier pasta, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-save-pasta-water\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-save-pasta-water\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">save the pasta water<\/a> when you drain the fettuccine. Pour a couple of tablespoons at a time into the cooked shrimp mixture until you like the sauciness, and then add the noodles. The starchy pasta water becomes creamier if you melt a tablespoon of butter into the cooked shrimp mixture. (<em>Psst:<\/em> Try this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cold-water-pasta\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cold-water-pasta\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cold-water pasta<\/a> hack to make the liquid even starchier.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Raid the garden and fridge:<\/strong> To give spinach shrimp fettuccine a spicy bite, sprinkle in minced fresh chile or red pepper flakes when you put the garlic in the skillet. Replace or add other chopped or sliced vegetables for a more colorful and expansive pasta dish. Our favorite additions include sweet onion, mushrooms, zucchini, yellow bell pepper, asparagus and sugar snap peas. Substitute or add a more pungent cheese, such as feta or blue cheese, for extra creaminess and flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Spinach Shrimp Fettuccine<\/h2>\n<p>Once the leftover spinach shrimp fettuccine has cooled completely, pack it into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Don&#8217;t expect it to taste quite as good the second time around. Its flavor and texture are so much better when fresh that we recommend scaling down the recipe to avoid leftovers.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does spinach shrimp fettuccine last?<\/h3>\n<p>Spinach shrimp fettuccine lasts three to four days in the refrigerator. It will firm up and clump together as it chills, but will soften again when reheated.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat spinach shrimp fettuccine?<\/h3>\n<p>Reheat spinach shrimp fettuccine in a large skillet on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Add a splash of water or white wine to the pan so that the pasta clumps loosen before it starts to stick. Heat just until the shrimp are warmed through, about two minutes\u2014any longer and the shellfish will become chewy. Microwaving leftovers would make the shrimp chewy, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Spinach Shrimp Fettuccine Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2133554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Spinach-Shrimp-Fettuccine-FT25_25028_JR_0326_3.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Close up shot of Spinach Shrimp Fettuccine\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to clean and devein shrimp?<\/h3>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-shrimp\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clean shrimp<\/a> in minutes with a little practice and the proper technique. Shellfish is easier to clean when fully thawed; thaw shrimp either overnight in the fridge or in a bowl under cool running water before you start cooking. Once thawed, the shrimp flesh pops free of the shell with a little tug: Grip the body with your dominant hand, grab the shell with your other and peel it away from head to tail. Tease out the dark vein down the shrimp&#8217;s back with a paring knife.<\/p>\n<h3>What should you serve with spinach shrimp fettuccine?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve spinach shrimp fettuccine as a one-pot meal, or set a light mixed salad and some crusty French bread on the side.
