Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain hot water, rinse with cold water and set aside.

Season washed and peeled shrimp with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat sauté shrimp in olive oil until cooked through and pink (about 2 minutes). Set shrimp aside on a plate.

In the skillet over medium heat add butter, tomatoes, garlic, wine, hot pepper, basil, and a dash of salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Just about ¼ cup of liquid should remain at this point. Add cream and spinach, stir and cook for just about a minute. Add the shrimp and stir to combine.
