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