Ingredients

1-2 lbs. Large Shrimp 
8 oz Lentil Pasta (or healthy pasta of choice, try to find one high in protein)
5 C Spinach & Cheese Tortellini 
1-3 C Seafood or Chicken Stock (depending on desired consistency)
 1 Tbsp Butter
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 C Spinach
1 tsp Minced Garlic
Salt, Pepper, & Italian Herbs to taste
Optional: Drop of Crab Boil



To Make:

1. Using a large saute pan, toss in butter, olive oil, and garlic and saute on medium heat for about 4 minutes. 

2. Add in shrimp and saute until almost opaque, tossing occasionally.

3. While the shrimp is cooking, prepare your pasta and tortellini according to each packages' instructions.

4. When shrimp is almost opaque, pour in desired amount of seafood stock. For a soup like pasta, add in about 2-4 cups. Optional: add in a drop or two of crab boil

5. Continue to stir the broth and shrimp on medium heat. Add in spinach a handful at a time and mix until the leaves are wilted into the broth. 

6. Season the broth, shrimp, & spinach mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste.

7. Drain your pastas. Once your broth is nice and hot, serve over the lentil pasta and toss a few tortellini on top!
