heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Season shrimp with 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Squeeze the juice of a whole lemon over the seasoned shrimp and mix to coat evenly.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the seasoned shrimp, cooking for a couple of minutes until they change color.

Add another tablespoon of butter and some chopped fresh parsley to the shrimp, stirring to combine, then set aside off the heat.

In the same pan, add 4 oz of milk and 4 oz of cream cheese, mixing to create a creamy sauce.

Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and the same seasonings used for the shrimp to the sauce, mixing until smooth.

Cook linguini according to package instructions and drain.

Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked linguini and mix well.

Add the cooked shrimp along with any shrimp juice to the linguini and sauce, mixing to combine.

Add a handful of fresh spinach to the mixture, stirring it in at the last minute to keep it fresh.

Heat everything together for a couple of minutes until warmed through and ready to serve.

Finish with extra parsley, a squeeze of lemon juice, and more Parmesan cheese if desired.
