Quick Meal - Shrimp, Spinach and Tomato Bowl

Hi!! I know it's been a while, but July has been a crazy month so far!  Every day has been busy and I haven't had much time in the kitchen.  The few times I have cooked have been very quick meals, which I will show you.  Just because you're swamped with plans doesn't mean you can't cook a good meal!  I had about 10 minutes in the house before I had to run out again and I was famished!  The only things we really had were shrimp, spinach and tomatoes so I quickly racked my brain for what I could do.  This meal was great because it could be so versatile, but it could also be very simple and eaten alone.  

 I started with:
About 9 Shrimp per person
1/2 cup of Spinach per person
1 Tomato per person

Add some olive oil to a pan and heat over medium.  Add the shrimp and cook until almost completely pink.  Add some salt and pepper.


Add the spinach to the pan and cook down.


While the spinach cooks, cut the tomatoes into 1 inch chunks and add to the pan.  I added a bit more salt and pepper and threw in about 2 teaspoons of chili powder.  It was a last minute addition that really made the dish pop!


I grated some parmesan cheese on top and devoured the whole thing in record time!  This would be great over pasta or in a wrap, but it was still very filling on it's own!  It kept me going until I was able to get home again at 11pm!  If summer days are longer, why do they feel so short?!
