Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoon Butter
  • 3 tablespoon Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cup Milk or half and half
Directions
  1. 1
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spinach noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. 2
    While pasta cooks, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. 3
    Add peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  4. 4
    Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and finely chopped shallots to the same skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. 5
    Pour in dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. 6
    In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter (if using a cream sauce variation) over low heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk or half-and-half and white pepper. Cook until thickened.
  7. 7
    Return the shrimp to the skillet with the garlic wine sauce. Toss to coat.
  8. 8
    Add the cooked spinach noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a glossy sauce.
  9. 9
    Garnish with chopped chives and dried oregano. Serve immediately.
