For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp before cooking. Don't overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Cook until just opaque. Freshly ground black pepper is highly recommended for its superior flavor. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the dish considerably. Serve over pasta or rice for a heartier meal. Consider adding some sliced mushrooms or cherry tomatoes to the spinach for added texture and flavor.
