9 steps
Heat the oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just shy of al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
While the pasta cooks, pat the shrimp dry and season with a little salt and pepper.
Quick amounts
Warm 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook just until pink on the first side, about 1 minute. Flip and cook 30 seconds more, then transfer to a plate.
Quick amounts
Lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, shallot, and garlic. Cook until fragrant and softened, about 1 minute. Stir in red pepper flakes.
Quick amounts
Pour in the wine or broth and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits. Add the cream and simmer gently for 2 minutes.
Quick amounts
Stir in the Parmesan, spinach, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add the drained pasta and toss until coated. If the sauce looks tight, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
Quick amounts
Return the shrimp to the skillet and fold everything together. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
Quick amounts
Top with mozzarella or fontina, breadcrumbs, and a small drizzle of olive oil. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until bubbling and lightly browned on top, 6 to 8 minutes.
Quick amounts
Let the skillet rest for a few minutes so the sauce settles, then finish with parsley and serve warm.
