This 20-minute dish is spicy, garlicky, saucy, and loaded with delicious shrimp. Plus, with the addition of spinach you’re also getting a serving of veggies. When you need a perfect low-fat weeknight meal that is quick to pull together, this is it. You can substitute arugula or kale for the spinach if you'd like. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Turned out fine. No complaints, but also didn't taste incredibly special for being a "contest winner." This dish was good, but if you make tomato-based sauces enjoy Italian dishes frequently, this might not stand out.

Turned out very well. Can make it as spicy as you want, with amount of red pepper flakes.

Shrimp is my go to protein for meals in a hurry because it cooks up in minutes; I also keep a bag of frozen peeled RAW shrimp in the freezer - Costco makes it economical to do so. This dish is so easy and delicious as is and my family loved it. Next time I may try subbing Rotel tomatoes with green chilies for the regular diced tomatoes to kick up the heat a notch. I served this with angel hair pasta. Lynne, Volunteer Field Editor
