• melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the shallots and mushrooms until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. stir in the grape tomatoes and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook and stir until tomatoes are heated through, about 3 minutes. add the shrimp, and cook until the shrimp just begins to turn pink, stirring occasionally.
• stir in the white and lemon juice, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until shrimp are opaque, about 5 minutes. stir in the spinach; once spinach has wilted, stir in the half-and-half and parmesan cheese. simmer until all ingredients are heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. serve over the cooked spaghetti.
