Method

Pat the 560 g raw shrimp dry and keep them chilled. Dice the 260 g tomato, mince the 18 g garlic and wash the 180 g spinach. Measure the 45 g lemon juice, 16 g olive oil and 25 g Parmesan before heating the pan.
Cook the 280 g dry whole-wheat pasta in boiling water until just tender according to the package. Reserve a cup of cooking water and drain; start the shrimp while the pasta is still cooking.
Heat the measured olive oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat. Spread the shrimp in one layer and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side; use batches if the pan is crowded. Once the shrimp are opaque throughout (or reach 63°C), move them to a clean plate so they do not turn rubbery.
Lower the heat and stir the garlic for about 30 seconds without browning it. Add the tomato and cook 2 minutes, then wilt the spinach. Add drained pasta and a little reserved cooking water; toss until the vegetables coat the noodles.
Return the shrimp only long enough to heat through. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the measured lemon juice. Share the Parmesan evenly over four portions. Allow about 15 minutes preparation and 15 minutes overlapping cooking; cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate.
