Preparation

1
Begin by preparing your fresh ingredients. Finely dice the small onions and crush the garlic cloves.
2
Place the frozen spinach spätzle into a bowl and cover with warm water. Let them sit to unfreeze while you start on the shrimp.

Cooking the Dish

3
Heat a large pan over high heat. Add the frozen shrimp directly to the hot pan until the water released by the shrimp has evaporated.
4
Once the water has evaporated, add the butter to the pan. Keep the heat on high.
5
Stir in the diced onions and crushed garlic, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

6
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the unfrozen spinach spätzle from the warm water directly into the pan with the shrimp and aromatics. Stir everything together to combine.
7
Continue cooking on high heat, stirring gently, for another 3-5 minutes, allowing any remaining water from the spätzle to evaporate.

Finishing and Serving

8
While the spätzle are cooking and any excess moisture is evaporating, generously grate the Parmesan cheese directly over the dish in the pan. Stir to melt and coat the spätzle and shrimp.
9
Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final stir to ensure all flavors are well combined.
10
Once done, remove from heat and serve.
