For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the skillet after cooking the aromatics, allowing it to reduce slightly before adding the shrimp. Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, can be added at the end for a burst of freshness. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of heat. Feel free to substitute other types of pasta, such as linguine or spaghetti. Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry for optimal browning and texture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 mins
Cook the Fettuccine: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions, usually around 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain well. (8 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Prepare the Bacon and Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp, stirring occasionally. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the chopped garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent. (10 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Cook the Shrimp: Add the thawed and patted dry shrimp to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with Italian seasoning and black pepper. (3 minutes)
04
Step

Create the Sauce: Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

Wilt the Spinach: Move the shrimp to the perimeter of the skillet. Add the baby spinach to the center, cover the skillet, and cook until the spinach is just wilted. (5 minutes)

StepCombine and Serve: Stir the wilted spinach into the shrimp and tomato sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix in the tomato paste. Serve immediately over the cooked fettuccine.
