1. Add water to your pot and boil it. The pasta should be cooked to al dente according to the package directions. Pasta water can be saved by draining and keeping 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Dispose of.
2. Get a skillet or frying pan hot enough to add the oil to. Add the shrimp to the garlic after being sautéed for a few minutes.
3. Add the pasta water, cream, and white wine, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lemon juice and cayenne pepper are good additions to the butter.
4. Add the spinach and shrimp to a large pot and simmer until well-combined.
5. Toss in the pasta and mix it with the cream sauce until it’s evenly distributed. Serve the pasta with lemon wedges when the heat is turned off, and the parsley is sprinkled on top.
