Fettucine in Tomato Cream Sauce
Italian, Main Dish, Pasta, Shellfish, Side DishSprinkle the prawns with the mixed chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and kosher salt. I realize I have no actual amounts here, but it's pretty much 'until it looks right'. Oh, cumin and/or mexican oregano would be good in that combination too. Probably chili powder will be the heaviest, but don't skimp on the salt.
Saute the prawns in 1/2 tbs butter, and be careful not to overcook them, lest they turn rubbery.

Creamy Spinach Parmesan
Side Dish, VegetableHeat large skillet to medium-high (350 F for an electric skillet). Add butter and melt, quickly adding garlic and allow to brown for 1 minute. Add the spinach, reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until it wilts and much of the juices evaporate. Depending on the moisture of the spinach, it may exude quite a bit of liquid. Cook until there is 3-4 tbs of liquid left. Add the cream and cook for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle in parmesan and mix - it may be a bit thin, give it a minute in the pan.
