Shrimp Alfredo with Spinach

I wanted to surprise a friend of mine who does not eat meat.  So I began looking around the kitchen to see what I had that I could throw together and bring to her job and surprise.

This recipe is a result of that effort.

She and her co-workers loved it.

So it is a keeper and I am sure I will be making it again.

Hope you enjoy it as well.  Hey why not surprise your significant other with a plate.
