Shrimp Scampi step by step

1. In a large skillet, turn your flame on its lowest setting. Add olive oil, butter, red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon juice. Cook for 12mins or until garlic is golden brown. **this first step is essential in making your scampi because you need to give the garlic time to infuse into the oil**.
2. Add in your halved cherry tomatoes.
3. Chop your large portobello mushrooms and cook them on very high heat in a separate pan *if you cook them in the same pan as your scampi sauce the mushrooms will soak up the entire sauce*.
4. Let cherry tomatoes cook in the scampi mixture for about 5-7mins. Then began to smash some of the tomatoes with a fork, in order to release all of its juices.
5. Add raw shrimp into the scampi sauce and cook on low heat until shrimp are pink and tender.
6. Taste a shrimp with the scampi sauce. Add salt/pepper to taste.
7. Right before you put the hot pasta into the scampi sauce, add in the mushrooms & as much fresh spinach as you desire. **the hot pasta will wilt the spinach, no need to cook**.
8. Toss your pasta with the veggies and scampi sauce & then serve hot.
