Lemon Garlic Shrimp Skillet

This is a fast, light dinner built around shrimp, so it's high in protein without much fat weighing it down. Shrimp cook in just a couple of minutes in a little butter with garlic and a good squeeze of lemon, then get piled over spinach that wilts right in the same pan. It's a small, satisfying plate that comes together in about ten minutes with hardly any cleanup.
