Spinach and Tomato Penne made with shrimp

Recently started working and I really have been pre occupied :( thats why i havent posted in a while, I apologize but i do promise to post twice a week hence forth :).

I wasnt sure what to make today but my colleague Koro (who does the work out posts) suggested the spinach and tomato penne with shrimp. It was a really fast recipe and it was super easy and yummy. I decided to pair the pasta up with chicken wings just so you get in that needed protein. 

Ingredients 

Whole wheat penne

Chicken wings

BBQ sauce

3 tomatoes

handful baby spinach

1 onion

2 small garlic cloves

ginger

Shrimps

Olive oil

Spices (Salt, pepper, knorr chicken, curry, thyme, parsley, rosemary)

Process

1. I pretty much made sure i had everything i needed for this recipe and arranged them for easy access. I hate messy kitchens lol so it all has to be organized

2. I cleaned the chicken wings, put them in a bowl and spiced them with salt, rosemary, soy sauce, thyme, curry, all purpose seasoning and red pepper.

3. I then mixed the spices in and added in the BBQ sauce ( I used the Diana brand that i love so much lol) and then placed in the fridge for a little while.

4. I deshelled the shrimps and spiced with salt, black pepper, knorr, all purpose seasoning and curry and placed in the fridge to marinate.

5. Then i moved on to the prep for the pasta. I chopped up the tomatoes, onions, garlic and the ginger.

6. I took the chicken out of the fridge and into the oven on a greased foil on low heat to broil.

7. I put the penne in a pot and rinsed with warm water. Then added water, salt and a drop of oil and put to boil. 

8. In a wok i heated up very little butter (you should use olive oil instead) and tossed in the garlic, onion and ginger mix. Once i could smell the flavour i threw in my shrimps to saute. (yes i realize i have wrecked this wok :( )

9. Once the shrimps were cooked i threw in the tomatoes and after 7 mins or there about i added the spinach. (Check on the wings and flip over if necessary).

10. Then i added the penne and let it cook on low heat. The wings should be ready too. Viola!!!

11. And then we plate the food all fancy for instagram lol
