            Fresh grated parmesan
 
     In a food processor bowl equipped with steel blade, puree to a
   paste the olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary, oregano, paprika, salt,
   cayenne, and garlic.  Stop the motor a couple of times, and scrape
   down the sides of the work bowl with a spatula to make sure garlic is
   getting finely minced.
 
     In a large saute pan, melt butter. Add olive oil mixture and bay
   leaves.
    Saute breifly over medium heat.  Do not burn garlic.  Add shrimp to
   the pan.  Roll shrimp around in pan so each shrimp is coated with the
   hot sauce and cooks quickly.  As soon as shrimp are barely cooked (be
   careful not to overcook - it may take only 1 to 2 minutes), remove
   pan from heat while you cook the pasta.  When pasta is cooked and
   well-drained, return saute pan to low heat, add pasta, and toss with
   the shrimp sauce to coat. fold in spinach and tomatoes.  Serve
   immediately, topped with Parmesan.
