1 1/4 pounds large shrimp (about 20 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails on
3 large cloves garlic
5 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves (5 ounces)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons smoked (sweet) paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

Place the oil in a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Watch closely so the garlic does not burn. Transfer the garlic to a small dish using a slotted spoon, leaving the oil in the skillet. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the shrimp, paprika, salt, and cayenne to the skillet, and cook until the shrimp turns pink and is nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach, return the garlic to the pan, and cook until the shrimp is opaque throughout and the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serving size 1 1/4 cups (6-7 shrimp) 260 calories
