Toasted bread adds a crunchy contrast to this take on spicy scampi—and keeps the dish under 300 calories per serving. If you prefer a more robust meal, use angel-hair or cappellini pasta instead.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 4 clove garlic
- 1 red chile (seeded for less heat, if desired)
- 1 lb. medium shrimp
- Kosher salt and pepper
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 1 bunch spinach
- 4 thick slices country bread
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chile and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Season the shrimp with 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the shrimp, add the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the shrimp are opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the spinach and cook, tossing, until beginning to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve over the bread.
