Cajun SHrimp & SPINACH Pasta

This 5 step meal is delicious and comes together in a jiffy, no more than 20 minutes. I always keep a bag of good quality shrimp in the freezer, because its so quick to defrost and cook. A great source of protein and vitamin B12.

You can customise this and make it your own by switching up the protein or the veggies, adding more fats like olives or nuts and seeds.
