Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 3 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
• 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup shallot, sliced
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 1 tablespoon garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Recipe

• 1 in a small bowl, whisk together bourbon (if using), orange juice, lemon juice, and honey; set aside.
• 2 heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat, add shallots, and saute until they begin to soften, about 1 - 2 minutes.
• 3 add pine nuts and garlic, stirring, and cook until pine nuts begin to brown, about 2 minutes.
• 4 add shrimp and saute until almost cooked through, 2 minutes; remove from heat (to avoid any flare ups from the bourbon, if using) and add bourbon/juice mixture.
• 5 return to heat and boil 1 to 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
• 6 remove shrimp and keep warm; add tomato and cook one minute.
• 7 add spinach, turning with tongs, until wilted.
