Spicy Shrimp Rosé Protein Pasta

Ingredients

• 220 g shrimp
• 180 g high-protein pasta
• 150 g cherry tomatoes
• 80 g spinach
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp chili flakes
• 120 g Greek yogurt
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 30 g parmesan
• 1 tbsp torn basil
• to serve chili flakes

Method

1. Step 1

   Boil the 180 g high-protein pasta in well-salted water until just tender, then reserve a little pasta water before draining.

2. Step 2

   Peel and devein the 220 g shrimp if needed, then pat them dry so they sear instead of steam.

3. Step 3

   Halve the cherry tomatoes (150 g), and roughly chop the spinach (80 g).

4. Step 4

   Season the shrimp with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp chili flakes.

5. Step 5

   Cook the shrimp in a hot pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side until pink. Transfer them to a plate right away so they do not overcook.

6. Step 6

   In the same pan, cook the vegetables for 2 to 4 minutes, then stir in the ingredients for the spicy rosé sauce with tomato paste, garlic, and Greek yogurt. Use a splash of the cooking water to loosen the sauce if needed.

7. Step 7

   Add the drained high-protein pasta, return the cooked shrimp to the pan, and toss everything together for 1 minute so the sauce coats every piece.

8. Step 8

   Taste and adjust the seasoning, then plate the pasta and finish with basil and chili flakes.
